What is it about a moon-lit walk?

Tonight, Robinson and I walked the dogs around the property. Nothing new. Today’s snow covered most of the bare spots. The moon was bright and the wind still and very little cold to deal with.

Meg behaved herself with the help of her Halti. Jack was his reasonable self but on a leash. If Meg’s leashed and Jack was free, Jack would insist on wrestling.

What was it about tonight? I couldn’t really say. I just liked it. I appreciated it more than I normally do. Maybe it was the thought I had today: I’ll be buried a few miles from here. I am fairly sure the Hickory Corners house will be my last stop.

Currently, I spend Monday night and Thursday night at Robinson’s father and step-mother’s house. My one-way drive to work is almost a 140 miles. Ever since moving to Hickory Corners, I hadn’t felt at home anywhere. I couldn’t let go of the next drive and staying over-night in St. John, Indiana. I wasn’t living in the moment; I didn’t appreciate my time at home.

Gapingvoid.com has been a regular stop for me. Hugh’s ‘How to be Creative‘ chapter, The Sex & Cash Theory, may explain a little of my attitude change.

7. Keep your day job.

I aÂ’m not just saying that for the usual reason i.e. because I think your idea will fail. I aÂ’m saying it because to suddenly quit one’Â’s job in a big ol’ creative drama-queen moment is always, always, always in direct conflict with what I call “The Sex & Cash Theory”.

Perhaps I have come to terms with the idea that I may start-up a dozen companies, I may write several books, but I may never be able to give-up my day job. And you know, that’s okay. Really.
