For several months, I’ve been building a mountain-sized list of creative and professional tasks that I have looked upon from the winding river of life, incremently taking on one or another … and mostly not completed. But there is a time for cultivating and a time for seeding. The summer months for me were times of seeding.

I was supposed to be heading to New Orleans again as I did last year about this time, but some of my collaborative partners had things come up in their lives, so I had a week blocked out and nowhere to go.

But then I thought of my comay, and how I’d been wanting to visit her in Colombia. I looked at tickets on a whim … and at the time they were just $250 roundtrip! I didn’t get them when they were that low, but pretty close, and here I am, in Medellín, knocking out the easiest tasks and preparing to devote some significant time to the others. I’m electrified and moving and that’s a delight.
