Prioritizing

There’s always so much going on. So many moving pieces to our lives-- a constant pull between lighting fires and putting them out. Accompanied by the persons who help, hinder, or stand oblivious to it all. And the truth is that nobody (never, ever) is going to share your desires or values completely.

But.

Sometimes you find folks with a common cause. That have an outlook or passion similar to your own. Even better, occasionally you’ll find those who make your viewpoint better and your quests more ambitious.

I’ve had allies become adversaries and foes shift to friends, and as my madness deepens I know these things will happen again. Because they’re not in it for the same reasons as I am, they’re not hungry for the same feast that I am, they’re not hoping for the same end that I see, and they don’t understand what drives me.

So from time to time I’ll ask myself and you and anyone who will listen: are we of the same House? Because I’m ready to go Home.
