On The Wind

Fantastic to see you back here! There is a lot to ponder in this short verse. The metaphor makes me think of the overall happenstance of life, and perhaps, all the opportunities in life and paths we can take, even if our footing is unsure. Life marches on confidently, despite not knowing the technicalities or each exact chord that needs to be played, moreso acting in the moment, using improv and whatever inspiration is nearby.

I think the last line is my favorite. It reminds me of the "bigger picture" of what we can't possibly comprehend. Or maybe the "aquarium of his dream" signifies all of the fisherman's desires, though some are not tangible. Yet he still tries to fish and catch and find something to take home, as he sees the world as infinite, everything possible.

Overall, I see this piece as making something out of nothing, merging the abstract and concrete. There's a certain humility in this, in life not being proficient in every aspect, but creating fantasy and creating connections to get by. Enjoyed this!

Too bad I can’t comprehend all of this. But I really like the starting line: life is a guitarist who has never owned a guitar.

Welcome back.
