• No leader will please you all of the time. Even the greatest will indelibly bring a note of discord to the table. A proximity to all is the antithesis of a proximity to one.
• I think one of my troubles (trade-offs) where writing is concerned is preferring to get my thoughts out immediately and not delegate their unfolding to the reception of a book, coddled under the might of a reader's post-indulgence introspection. Perhaps the ultimate concepts of stories are best told by the arranging of pieces beyond planning; preconception;

As an aside: how iconic are the Bond barrel poses?

• Independence: In Deep End Dance: Call Of The Shallows:
• Strangers are our confidants, of will inconsequential, who see us in our truths while never having the opportunity to speak on them; our transitory, ever-capsulated lightning bolts in bottles
• Your loss is not your loss: it is their lesson
• -.;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; (I didn't consciously do this)
• Is there any connection (correlation) between [age's] limiting of sound frequency receptions, and the heaviness of music?

Independence: Rings (Of Cycles)

We seek and scrape; through trials and feats. Amidst the turbulent streams and flows.

Life becomes the bane of silence; of peace incarnate. Solutions tease and taunt from beyond: through the vanity and veil of the public--collective--eye; sight; sense;

Cutting grooves into the sands of time, pathways impacted and maintained only in constant treading adherence and compaction.

There is no Man; only a conglomeration of principles; agreements; traps; outer- and self-regulated walls;

What we have is communal momentum; what we have is ourselves. In truth, they are inseparable; of pact and union; of intertwined cause and effect. Be it action or inaction, they feed both and either notion. Thus, we are left to either learn from the chaos of our blind agreement in motion...or seek resolution within.

"See for yourselves", as they say.

"See for y[ourselves]."

I have been working all the time now, and have not even found the literal space to sit and comfortable unshackle my mind to focus it into action; whether I'm running around or am pressured by an approaching engagement, or slavish to sleep availability, or simply not driven to take action (which is really most of the time), or seeing no value in sacrificing my time toward things that could propel my forward, but noone seems to take all that seriously.

Nobody pays much mind to the intellectual. I don't know if its because people are not generally open to seeking out new ideas or ways of going about things; even concerning others factors which serve to propagate such machinations of things. There is at least one certain way of going about things, though, and that is being where the audience is--be it general or a tad more honed in. Still, it all comes down to the sacrifice play, because it really doesn't matter how sightless the writing game is: there is always a significance of [healthy] competition; a river to fight against.

Which is what is great about Vocal, on the surface. It has a market of different topic realms to invest in, all of which are there to be organized into upon submission.

Of course, for someone like me, who is only interested in a certain genre or way of going about and sharing things, it may remain--regrettably--more than the natural path (and of least resistance, at that). It may be the course of action and direction forced upon me to simply breathe in the process.

With that said, I'll see you on the other side. My 600 word count has been reached. I hope you find some value in the new subjects to follow.

Also--

and I meant to add this in my next Vocal submission, be it this article or a new one--

because I take so many pictures, I will venture into putting them into articles to make use of them. Photos of the sky, Nature, et al; things I pick up in my daily travels.

Stay tuned.

And thank you for your [continued] support through it all. Including what might be clunky writing [much of the time].
