‘Your window to the world might be your own front door. Your shiniest day might come in the middle of the night.’ Two lines from the Blackhawk song “That’s Just About Right”. I identify with those two lines.
I am not sure I will ever do any thing earthshaking. Nor will I ever be the President or some CEO of a corporation. I realize maybe what I do in my own backyard might be important.
Notoriety or fame is overrated. I remember reading in Bob Dylan’s autobiography how he wanted fame early on and then got it and wished he didn’t have it. He wanted his children to have a normal existence and they could not.
Some weirdo was always showing up on his doorsteps. Anonymity is really a gift. And the famous lose it. Dylan bemoaned its loss. And realized fame was not what it was cut out to be.
I will continue to do what the Lord has called me to do. Whether or not others recognize it. The words I write if they impact at least one person they served their purpose. I will continue to reach out and love the people around me.
The words from this song remind me to continue writing for it still matters to me no matter how many people read it. So I continue for I know I have to.
