Waking Up

After another strange adventure with an abrupt end, we have landed back in Columbus, where we ran from almost a year ago. Some of the things we have seen and done were so surreal I almost wonder if they ever happened at all. No apartment yet, but we are both probably going right back to work where we were. It's sort of like we never left, but are waking up from a year long dream. Our journey taught us so much about ourselves and we've both done so much growing. I think we are ready to just stop roaming and start creating, at least for a while.

You know, it's strange to me to think that most people CANNOT pack up all of their belongings into a small car and change the entire direction of their life at the drop of a hat. That's kind of how we have become accustomed to living. It took maybe 3 hours to pack up all of our possessions into that car. It only took us about 2 minutes to reach the decision to, with not a lot of serious talk leading up to it. Sure, moments such as these are quite serious, but I think romanticizing them helps us get through. I suppose it's kind of my way of seeing the humor in it... Kind of.

So back to the good. We need to take all that we've learned and seen and experienced and use it! There are a lot of ideas zipping around between us, and I think that our band, Evolu is just about ready to work its way into the scene.

Best of all, our new chapter will sort of be kicked off with a trip to Bonnaroo! Despite the sudden change of residence/plans and the worse-than-typical poverty, we have managed to secure our most sacred holiday, and we will return from this one inspired, and ready, and glowing brighter than the sun does on the horizon. We are young and we are more motivated and more confident than ever, and our devotion to art and bohemian ideals is a mountain of its own. And of coarse, the world is a beautiful place!!

Thanks for the feedback-checked out your recent post and I like it. I used to love to be able to put my stuff in a car and move on out! I will say, by my mid 20s I started to see the productive advantages of staying in one place long enough to cultivate a community of friends & support... It's a moot point now, I'm a geezer with a house, wife and 2 kids!!!
