After reading those song lyrics, So Many Roads, that's really all i want, man - the road that takes me home. The road that takes me to my core, to the center of who i am and what i will be, what i can become. The road that takes me to the one I love, the true girl that loves me - the road to the girl that I can learn from and live life with and that will be my inspiration to be something better, to be someone greater than myself, yet still myself, a basic extension, or extrapolation of what i can be.
I want to find a road to the future. A road that leads me back home, to the home I always knew existed, and do know exists - the home within my self, my spirit, my special place. My cave, if you will (for those Fight Club junkies) - and there i shall find my power animal. That animal isn't a penguin, but a Goat, myself, really - yet still a penguin. A pineapple-loving penguin who has fur and bleats and loves Killian's Irish Red and loves spending time with friends and has a soft spot for nice, fun girls ... that also feeds off the engery of an array of exciting things like concerts and long-distance-yet-somehow-oddly-transcendant connections.
I want to find that road home. How can I? How can I be courageous enough to tune into what I know is myself? How can I leap from the diving board into the absolute unknown, and take an ultimate risk, all the while knowing what the outcome will be - pure success. How can I make that choice? The choice to drive towards happiness, to take exit 1-A, the exit that will indeed lead me to love, contentment, understanding - fuckin' learning and growth, man - when I don't know what the road entails? Or how to even find exit 1-A, for Christ's sake. I don't know where it is, and i know there's no map to guide me.
I must really become my own cartographer, a peice of paper upon which I can chart my course. But it's so awfully hard picking up the pen. It becomes even harder knowing exactly what to draw, what exact course you must illustrate.
All i ask for is the courage to find my road home.
Sleep well tonight, and dream of that special person you love, the person who's captivated your heart - the person you see at night, the one you connect with in the night, subconsciously, reaching out, seeking that road... the one that leads home.
