December 10, 2009

 

It’s time to shut my mouth and let my boots do the talking

Hike out and up

Put some hard miles on the interstate

Let’s watch the odometer roll into a full gallop

Let’s sleep in airports with ridiculously important fiction as our head rest

Vehemently pursue the noble act of going very far to do very little

Just take it in, listen, speak, observe

Shut the fuck up

Make something with your hands

Stand on top of mountains and be humbled

Now yell

The revolution will not be streamed on YouTube

Write a letter, sing a song

Bring good people into your home to do nothing more than drink too much whiskey

Tell stories until the sun comes up

Good people, people who get it

When you find them, don’t lose them

Don’t ever forget this could be over tomorrow

There are no curtain calls, there are no encores

Keep it honest, terribly, wonderfully honest

 

_Alexander
