MLK - Familiar Territory

We are supposed to be further along. Closer to making the dream a reality. 

But here we are. 

 And this is looking far to close to ground we covered sixty plus years ago, only heading in the wrong direction. Right now we're standing and watching, but before long we'll be the focus as we always are. Yes, we've been betrayed, again, but we don't have a lot of options, so that anger will have to be quelled and grievances allayed, yet again. I hope that we can again find the strength of character and the courage of conviction our grandfathers had.

Last Year Was.

I feel like last year was the experience of waking up in the middle of the night in a cornfield, buck naked.

Last year was.

And no, that's not going to trail off into something resembling pithy remarks, philosophical thoughts or comedic punditry learned through struggle. To wake up in lost in cornfield you generally have to start the night off good. The year did. To end up in the cornfield, well, things have to take a wicked turn. Last year started out with hope, new challenges, new possibility and an opportunity to do some things. It ends with me at home, tired and alone, psyching myself up to take leaps into the gaping maw of the vast unknown and just see what happens.

So....let's see what happens.
