this could all mean nothing, scattered words on a page
but if you gotta give it meaning, i guess you can. a simply story and some make believe, i never told you what it meant to me, but if I had to tell you something, I guess I could try.
This could all mean nothing
Scattered words on a page
But if you gotta give it meaning
I guess you can
A simple story and some make believe
I never told you what it meant to me
But if I gotta tell you something
I guess I could try
This could be love or
A little something more
This could be wrong now
But later it could be right
A song for my life
It was hard to decide
But a struggle is good for one thing
I guess I always have been a seeker
But rarely know what I seek
A constellation of something greater
Greater than me
A little whisper of a jubilation
A strong desire cut from exaltation
A catatonic miscommunication
Something I can feel
This could be love or
A moment soon to pass
This could be hope for
A witness to confess
A message to bring
What I lost in that dream
And I swore I never would look back
This could be love
But it’s harder than it seems
Awake for day but at night it’s hard to sleep
I see trouble
Oh the way it follows me
Snap back take a step it’s a forward retreat
I am humble
In the face of a defeat
It’s a damn good day to die
This could be love
This could be love
This could be love
Thanks for listening ☝️👂🙏
I really love that song. I wrote it on week 2 of the first year I played the game. The prompt was:
“a constellation of something..”
I didn’t have anything in mind and wanted to just let it come out without worrying about what it means or how it would make sense.
I love that. There’s a dose of magic in it, it comes from a feeling, and things come out of you that otherwise wouldn’t when your goal is to paint a specific picture.
and sometimes, on the other side, maybe months down the road.. it takes on a new meaning for you and brings its medicine
We’ve got two more shows on this tour. In a couple hours we will make it to Brooklyn for our load in at the Sultan Room.
This week has been good, though I’m finding myself missing my wife and our baby boy so much. I’ll get to reunite with them on Sunday evening and by Tuesday we start making our way home back to our little home in the mountains of northern Colombia.
Especially these days so far away from home, I’m hit with how lucky we are to have a homestead, deep within nature and away from the buzz of cities and the chaotic energies they bring.
We are living in harmony with the earth, closely with the dirt, in touch with our food, plants and animals. We have a fire almost every night and wake up before the sun with the sound of the howler monkeys calling in the rain. We are building something that will outlive us. Regeneration a small piece of the mountain that was once completely destroyed, and now after 8 years we are seeing the fruits of our hard work. We get to host and meet extraordinary people from all over the world, though often we have different experiences and realities, there is a familiar spirit that connect us.
On Monday I’m starting the 75 hard challenge. It’s a 75 day commitment to follow some simple but challenging rules to build momentum in creating results in your life that you’re ready to bring alive.
Here are the rules:
I have been dreaming about signing up for some ultra marathons. So I’ll be using this challenge to starting my training, focusing on some strong hikes, general time on feet, and exercises to strengthen my legs and knees.
I’m gonna go hard on the jump rope, and incorporate some mobility work as well.
Some extra commitments I’m going to make for these 75 days are;
no added sugar
no coffee
No YouTube
No audiobooks
No podcasts
Carolina is joining me as well and I’m looking forward to making time together to work on some of these practices with her.
I was invited to join by my buddy Tyler Hart, who is just one of the best dudes I’ve gotten to know recently. He’s a real one. And his last name suits him too well has he’s gotta be one of the most heart centered guys I know. He’s a father, a husband a leader, and shows up to life with a beautiful mission. I admire Tyler and so when he asked me to join- I was a fuck yes.
There’s a group of guys I don’t know that are all committed to it. Having the camaraderie and accountability and solidarity vibes to accomplish this journey is amazing. You can join too if you wanna reach out to me, we can chat and I’ll get you in!
I’m just at a point right now feeling like I need to push through some discomfort on purpose. I need a breakthrough.
Thanks for reading and listening.
