The Spyrals – Clouds

I found this band on Last.fm a year or so ago, and they haven’t left my rotation since. They seem to be in love with EPs, so getting five songs all at once is a major event. I downloaded this new album from Bandcamp this morning and haven’t put it down yet. Something about The Spyrals’ sound just does it for me, and I particularly like the first track, Black Clouds. I’m gonna wear this set out till I hate it, I can already tell.

I love the days when you wake up and your drive and motivation practically levitate you off the bed and into the shower, where your thoughts and prayers and hopes for the day flow just as easily as the hot water down your back, and the pep in your step lasts the whole day long, to the point that everyone around you more than notices, they’re invigorated and feed off your vitality. And then, when it’s all over and you’re placing your head back on your pillow for another night of slumber, your reflection on the day is a stream of tasks accomplished and smiles created, and the last thing you feel is peace and tranquility and your last thought is, “I matter.”

Today was not that day.

The Question

I’ve been knocking around a question in my head over the last two weeks or so. The question is this:

If I had all the time and money in the world, what would I do?

Meaning, what kind of profession/vocation would I do just for purpose and meaning and self-satisfaction? What work would I do for free?

After two weeks of sometimes active/sometimes passive pondering, I’ve come to this answer:

I don’t know.

And I sincerely believe that discerning the answer to that question is imperative to me discovering my true calling and my true happiness (and, more than likely, my true prosperity.)

I’ll let you know when I figure it out. But I don’t think the answer is too far away. In fact, I think it’s right here.
