I’ve been quite distracted the last few weeks by contemplating and pursuing an endeavor that now seems clear won’t happen. Meetings, discussions, reading, digesting youtube videos, all leading to a mostly self-imposed dead end. When you look at it like that, it’s daunting. The right way to view it, I think, is to view the journey as beneficial progress that ultimately leads to something else down the road. It’s not the end of the line. Or, perhaps it is the end of this line, but the city is full of streets filled with opportunities and adventure. Already, this dead end has placed me at the start of a new road. Maybe this one has an outlet, maybe it doesn’t. Time will tell.
The challenge I have is figuring out how much time to spend traveling. You gotta know when to pick a destination and live in it for a while.
