The Ebb and Flow

Grains of sand on a dune.

Sometime the day just feels like this.

There are ebbs and flows with this new path I’m on. Some days, I feel immensely creative. Ideas move easily, one thing leading naturally into the next.

Other days, I wake up wondering, What the fuck do I do today?

Today is one of those days.

What feels strange, at least to me, is that I have a list. A big one. Plenty of things I could be doing. Yet somehow, I find myself staring at the tiniest lack of motivation like it’s a wall.

Maybe it’s the gray sky. The overcast weather. The feeling of the day not fully waking up.

But I also know this about myself: if I just start, the flow usually comes. Motion tends to create motion.

Still, the pull of the ebb’s vortex feels strong today.

Fuck it. Let’s get to work.
