'Where are you heading?"
As in - where is your head taking you? Are you a passenger or the driver? Do you like the road being taken? Is there a destination in mind? Have you got a map?
Ultimately, the place we all end up is the same. So it's not about the final destination. It's about where you go along the way. Some like to plan, others to stumble onto things. You got your harez and your tortii.
But the questions above, I think, are worth asking. Cause if you want to, you can take some control. And it is worth looking up ahead and at least making sure you are heading (in your head) to a place that is worth visiting. If it's a downhill journey - muddy, treacherous, uncomfortable - well, better make a change. If you are happy enough, and enjoying the trip; carry on. There's no hurry.
For me, at the moment, I enjoy make pictures everyday. Along with regular exercise and an ocean immersion, I feel satisfaction. Creating pictures that were not there before. It's a bit like dabbling in magic. And I read today about the brain - how vision is the most powerful of the senses - and stimulates the brain, works it. As a predominately solo traveller, I like to not only look out the window - but to create scenery of my own devising.
Writing can do a similar thing. But it is different. Just as much of a high - deeper, longer waves, though. And it takes a while to come on. And effort. It's more like long distance running. Where as making images is like a exploratory walk through interesting new terrains. What's ahead is uncertain, but through intuition, experience and trust, you usually end up somewhere satisfying, sometimes breathtaking.
