I feel like I owe this blog a post. The blue, while a striking shade did not last long in the dusty streets of Black Rock City.

It is funny how being there strips thing away. I was not bathed in the same kind of release as last year. No paradigm shift. I've already shifted.. what did it strip away this year? The idea that I can continue to work in corporate america and live happily. There is a reckoning coming for me.. an exit stage left.

Also somewhat sadly I discovered that the answers are not to be found in the streets and dust of the City. Simply embracing the people for a week a year is not enough.. the answers are out in the world and in how I am touched by my experiences in the world.

The answers are in a culminaton of who i've been, who I am, and the untapped potential of both of those. In some ways I am returning to my roots but doing it with new found philosophies and fearlessness.

I think this coming year will mark my return to the ranks of subversive iconoclast. I've been awake and choosing to live but the road I've been walking on has been the wrong one.

the right one is somewhere over there in the weeds.
