A year is a long time and it’s always scared me to think I could have a bad year. An entire year!? Yes. To be specific, it’s been a rough 15 months. Re-assessing and reorganizing and working on becoming a better father, husband, business person, creative mind, and well rounded in everything I do.
But for creativity and work, it’s been a long, hard, slow year. Getting a creative idea to spring from me is like trying to catch a chicken on steroids. Lots of energy expended, but not much is happening.
I saw a photo of a tree that had been cut down and in the cross-section of the rings, there were several rings that were completely rotten. Perfectly circling the tree about halfway from the outside to the core. Several rotten rings.
Even this tree had a few rotten years and still kept growing and ended up pretty majestic.
