Lone star

I was sad leaving Texas today. Separation anxiety. The open road has a beauty and sometimes wretched quality to it. It took me some hours before I hit my stride. My nomadic-ness has been slowing down as I have been settling into Austin. I am headed back to Miami to play some tennis and see some friends. I am pretty excited. Sometimes its strange to go back to places that hold many memories. I am looking forward to what Miami has in store for me. I want to experience it anew. I have changed and grown in the last year and it should be fun to look through these new lenses.

Sometimes I forget that I loved parts of Miami and I have been working on a song about it. called sometimes land. I am pretty clear that writing, songwriting, music and art is the direction I want to go in my life. However this pesty thing called tennis keeps wanting my attention.

Driving through Texas, seeing New Orleans, landing in Tampa. I remember when I was living in Miami in 2009 and went to Austin for the first time. Now its 2014 and its nice to remember so many happy memories of tennis and friendship. I remember why I keep at tennis, and spend time with other people who get the love of the game. The importance of having a dream and going towards that road, however impossible it might seem. Lastly remembering the qualities of patience and balance while appreciating all the different textures and varieties of the flavor of life.
