Lost in the desert with friends.

Wednesday night me and a couple of friends joined up at the Cockeysville Commons for an outdoor showing of the Muppet Movie. It was a rare moment of exquisitely perfect weather and I was just glad to get out of the house to do something… ANYTHING… where I didn’t have to be “on”.

I’ve been feeling pretty discouraged about everything recently, Life, the Universe, Music and Everything… and so it was with joy that I immersed myself in one of my favourite movies, but with a little bit of dread too – because there’s a moment when Kermit has a little talk with himself about failing to realize his dreams… and about leaving everyone else out to dry too. Broken down in the desert, he tries to convince himself that he didn’t promise anyone anything – that he just gave them choices – everyone followed the dream of their own volition… but the self-promise is the one that burns us.
