Do You Know Where You're Going To?

As the year comes to a close, it is time to take stock of the past 365 days and see where one is vis-à-vis where one aimed to be. What do you do when you’re bored with what is happening in your life? When you feel that you’ve hitting mid-life crises earlier than you expected? Some rhetorical questions just can’t bear to be answered. The lunch conversation that I had with Darwin yesterday, opened Pandora’s box.

You pretend to create and observe when you really detach from feeling alive.

--- Goodbye Love, Rent

On this day, the lyrics of “Do You Know Where You’re Going To?” are ringing in my head…

Do you know where you're going to?

Do you like the things that life is showing you

Where are you going to?

Do you know...?

I’m just hoping that I find a way to satisfactorily resolve the issues in my professional and personal life before my chorus becomes…

Now looking back at all I've planned

I let so many dreams

Just slip through my hands

Why must we wait so long

Before we'll see

How sad the answers

To those questions can be

Enough of Diana Ross… I need to channel my inner Maureen.

I gotta get out of here! It's like I'm being tied to the hood of a yellow rental truck, being packed in with fertilizer and fuel oil, pushed over a cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse

Here’s…….to days of inspiration, playing hooky, making something out of nothing, the need to express, to communicate.

Here’s to a Happy NEW Year!
