Play more.
Think less.
Impressions are not as valuable as inspiration.
I am currently listening to John Coltrane-One Up, One Down.

Customer B221 Defeated
I’m feeling awfully homesick for being homeless. I found myself in Burlington Vermont last week bumming around the coffee shops and parks. Some days were very inspiring either playing styles of music completely unfamiliar to me or spending my days walking in what felt like a painting out at a farmhouse in the country side of VT.
Part of being homeless brings a good deal of free time when you aren’t traveling further on down the road. It gives me time to think about how maybe I would be happier somewhere else. Peaking around the street corner to see what the next avenue has to offer. While in Vermont I was excited to get back home. This time I was referring to Boston as home. Well at least I’m trying to call it home.
But now here I am. Feeling awkward and out of place in the musty city. I’m just a single file ant moving through the veins. Maybe I’m just physically exhausted. Maybe it’s just this day. I’m in a tennis match with the city life. It’s a tough match, and I feel easily defeated. But I’m not ready to quit. It’s only the first match. Tomorrow might go in my favor. Now I know how the Sox must be feeling.
