First you have to have a destination. Be it a physical one, your goals/dreams and/or things others cant see but are vivid to you. Marriage, a(nother) degree , more money, better job, etc. Then you should plan out your route and…zzzzzzzz! This is the hardest part. The details that we over or under do. I suck at details…bad! but combat this by going back to the big picture and thinking "is what I’m doing at that moment contributing to me getting where I want to be?". Works for the kid. What works for you? Something else that works, simple and even corny, but having a tangible symbol helps. For this journey I have a compass given to me by a dear friend but anything can work. A calendar/ whiteboard/ rock/ picture/ shit a post-it doesn’t matter. For those visual (meaning men specifically but anyone) it’s a good reminder of where your trying to go. Really helps when you don’t have a GPS.
Project: Roam, which begins October 1st, will encompass a photo-poetic journey across the US, Mexico and Canada. It is a journey to collect the stories, history and present day situations of everyday people and translate the art of the their lives, the beauty of nature and the sense of our history into images and words. (All donations and support welcome)
Addendum: The continuation of moving poetry. Following the continuing journey of this poet and branching off into the stories, journeys, and poetry of others. Strap in!
