#6 How to spin F: Good Intentions
F a vehicle of expression transforms the composer’s vision and compels him to see equality in everything. The proof is in the music. (6 of 14)
One way to make this fast: describe making up one’s mind. Spot the phrase in italics and hear the music for 20 “smart reader” points.
Big dreams have a way of making the outcome of difficult decisions worth the wait when the bucket list brims with good intentions long after the clouds are all gone — no more wondering — at least not for now, just thoughts about the good times and how many more are in store.
The path once dotted with footprints and stepping stones is divergent, sometimes overlapping with a wall-eyed perspective at which time there is no point worrying because one way or the other turning back will lead to nothing new.
Everyone might as well dance in celebration when there is a high degree of consolation in recognizing how all roads have a reason for being cleared.
The roads being an unusual detour and featured in these newsletters make everything all the more rewarding.
When travelling is easier, less time is spent going nowhere and if a dead end shortens the journey the experience getting there is still priceless as long as the memories are fond ones. The bonus in knowing what lies ahead after finally turning around only increases the interest that much more.
Think about the route not taken and how much better the dead end makes it look — how the task of doubling back to a familiar place has overtones of joy. It is still a cause for dancing in celebration. Memories compound new insight and smug hindsight to make a list of fresh inspiration, so even the most accepted platitudes are not suited to a stacked deck.
Sneaking a second guess into the gallery of optimism is impossible even when the door is open wide, since it is now a full house.
How long it is going to last is as good a guess as anything however and with the opposite roadside switched over, getting to the point is simply a matter of coming to an agreement. One way or the other it is all the same until another junction.
Indecisiveness and uncertainty must take a back seat while shuffling on to their new frontier, a destination hardly worth going for and with the two dead weights jettisoned there is levity in every carefree moment.
So purely for the sake of making everything variable please remember and appreciate how without the letter ‘F’ the final word in this newsletter can never be forgotten.
The ‘F’ Game
If there is a solution, it is a puzzle. Without one — it’s just a mess.
