Completely in the Dark

This was written and sent out to my friends on the eve of the year 2002…

Dear friends:

First off, I hope all your pre-New Year’s activities are coming together and that life is good.

Which sort of leads me to a massive amount of contemplating I’ve been doing lately, and I’m hoping you may have some good advice for me.

God knows I need it.

Now, nearly ten years after the break of 1992 (about which some of you may remember; others, well, ask and I’d be happy to relate the story sometime), I feel I’m playing it safe and boring again. I can’t decide if I merely need a new environment, a new career, or just a new outlook.

I know I have projects I’ve wanted to complete, and still feel a desire to do them, but just “increasing my creative output” doesn’t feel like the solution.

Maybe…
