Now that I perform them almost every weekend, even though I do enjoy many of Drake's songs, I tend to listen to them more musically than anything. Today, for the first time in a long time, I woke up and felt like turning to a song expressly for its words:
Now and then I get so scared that I
might not do a thing with my life
April fooled me again
Into thinking I'm not where I'm supposed to be
Hey kid, it's all relative
to your deepest driving desire
Whatever that may be
I also thought, for the first time in a long time, about a story Tom Brown told at Tracker School about Grandfather. Grandfather apparently did not change his manner of dress very much according to what time of year it is, and while New Jersey may not have been Michigan, I'm sure it has its seasons. One day, one of Tom's neighbors asked him, "Grandfather, we always see you walking around in the same thin jacket and clothes. Anyone else would be freezing! Don't you get cold when it's like this outside?" He replied," Of course I get cold with the weather. The difference is, I don't mind feeling cold."
I would like to be more like that. Of course I have fears, of course I have doubts, of course I have uncertainty, but those are as natural t the human experience as seasons to nature. So why should I mind it so much?
