Dreams Like Balloons



You have got to be ready for them to float away, and even if they don’t, they get kind of soft and droopy after a little while.

Wether you’re buying a new house or starting a relationship, or carrying a special rock up a hill, you need to believe that it’s going to change your life, and for the best, the whole time you’re working on it.
But if something’s worth a damn, it’s likely difficult and unlikely to pan out, especially not exactly the way you thought it would. Given the liklihood of failure, you’ve got to be simultaneously capable of clinging to a thing like the Rock of Ages, and willing to let it go like it’s a literal balloon.

How can you cling to something like it’ll save your life, while being wiling to let it go without a hestiation?

I have not figured that out just yet. If you have any ideas, reach out.

I’m thinking of writing some short fiction for the blog. I’ve threatend this before. I’ve been writing a bit for a soon-to-be-released RPG, but it’s been tough for me to write for work, write this blog, and write short stories, it’s a lot of writing and my brain is only good for so many miles per day. 

If you tune in to zazen bozo and hear about a fantastical north african prince or an Algerian stone mason, well...don’t be too disappointed. It’ll be more interesting than the half-baked economic musings of a dingus.
