"The urge to fall back on what has
worked for us in the past has its own attraction… and
resisting that familiar, sensible pull can often send us
spiraling towards disaster. Still, some of the most
exciting experiences, and any true change, fall from breaking
free of the patterns that bind us. Even as too much repulsion
of the familiar leaves us drifting further and further from
everything and everyone that once made us feel comfortable,
safe, or grounded.
Whether our actions ultimately
lead us to a better place, or force us along a more
challenging path, the gravity of our habit will pull at
us. Silently it draws us towards what we are and forces
us to work even harder to become who we wish to be. We
feel its effect in the shifts in our actions, the weight of
our attractions, the force of our convictions, and the
intensity of our reactions. I feel my own pull even now,
second guessing my choice to let such personal sonic pieces of
myself out for all to see. I hope you enjoy these songs,
these thoughts, these sometimes cautionary tales. I hope
you invite them into your orbit. I hope you find
something to pull from them. And I foolishly dream that
someday they might offer some insight when next you choose to
defy gravity." |
