A musician I know lives a minimalist
Life in Brooklyn. Apartment, no family,
Few possessions. And music.
Music for work and music for hobby.
He does what he loves, every day.
He is doing what he wanted to do since
Elementary school.
In elementary school, I wanted to be a nurse
Or a teacher. The nurse idea fell flat
When I fainted watching the blood pool in the
Gap where my baby tooth had just been.
And the teacher idea … I came close, I suppose.
But is that my passion?
More than the musical ability,
More than a life lived doing what one loves,
I think I most envy the
Knowing
What he wanted for his life’s work.
