under the san diego sun...
I spent this weekend at the Celebrate Dance festival in Balboa park. Its a three day dance festival featuring performances by around 75 dance companies and studios in addition to lectures and workshops. Totally amazing. It was good for me to go because I got to see alot of whats out there in San Diego and i got a really good reminder of why I want to do this whole start a company thing.
This evening I had a break because I didnt want to watch the Butoh performance so I went and got an Ice cream cone and I sat under this really big tree. The thing was fucking huge. 80 years old and 90 feet tall and the reach of the canopy was something like 180 feet. The thing was a behemoth and totally awe-inspiring.
I started thinking about my life and what I wanted to be when I was 80. Where did I want all my branches to reach to and how many people did I want my canopy to cover. It was a really deep moment but kind of daunting too. Sometimes I get a little caught up in wanting my life to start right away and things to happen now. I want to have my own company tomorrow and be making enough money to not have any worries and have a bunch of friends. I think if I just sit back and relax Ill be alot happier. That tree started as a seed smaller than my pinkie toe but by biding its time it grew that huge. All that the seed needed was time, water, and sunlight.
I just have to bid my time till I can do the same.
Everything will happen if I just trust in time and the universe and the warmth of the sun.
