rudder vs sail

It is a strange feeling. That loss of memory you incur when the jagged edge of stress and blind ambition have cut their way clear into your soul. When the pursuit has eclipsed the pursued. When the intoxication of inspired thought has devolved into the relentless repetition of recycled actions.

When you are paddling upstream.

There is wonder in the heating of the mind, of the solemn intensity of inspired thought. for the heightened sense of awareness that comes from a mind on fire, in purpose. And there is within this space that golden opportunity in transforming thought into action, into tangible substance that leaves the world a little better.

But along this road there are many diverged. So easy to lose one's way. So essential to have that rudder. To steer yourself back home.

Never forsake the rudder for the sail.
