The Tree @ 2305 Speedway

There’s a tree at 2305 Speedway, the home I grew up in, that still bears the carvings I engraved into it as young boy.

That tree is now a metaphor that I think about quite often.

Few things will carve deeper into the souls we cross, the moments we experience, and the days we’re given than the music we create and offer back to the universe.

And while we’re on the subject of trees, here’s a beautiful writing on the slow and enlightening beauty that trees give us.

With or Without Metaphor(s)

You can live without them. Most do.

And there’s the choice to live with them. But this choice has it’s choices too.

You can choose to experience the world as a battlefield or as a poem.

You can see your days as a pass or fail test or a painting.

In the end, we need you to choose to live with metaphor(s) and then we need you to choose subtitles with possibility over pessimism.

The Choice

Will you chase or will you attract?

This is a giant question for us and the choices here could not be more different.

Think of the implications here for all things in our lives, relationships, and businesses.

The chase will always leave you out of breath, tired, and panting. Even if you catch it, whatever it is will probably have to be juggled and, unfortunately, dropped.

And then there’s attraction which leads to a waltz and something (a human, an experience, or a moment) you can hold.

So what’s it going to be? The dance or the rat race?

Your call.

If you’re convicted…

…expect turbulence.

…anticipate resistance.

Conviction will always have a litmus test that requires some form of persistence, perseverance, hope, faith, and endurance.

The pursuit of success in any path will always come full circle to one question…”Are you really in love?”

One ‘I don’t’ can crush a million ‘I do’s’.
