"The hard work makes a little more sense when I keep 'Pound the Stone' front of mind." In front of us all stands a mighty stone. Rugged and untouched, it beckons to us, a blank canvas for creating.

"Some nights it just doesn't work out." We've all been there. The mood is shit. Nothing seems to be going right. Bad stuff keeps compounding. The signs are there. Less sleep last night. Longer day.

And some nights, my thoughts don't flow out as a blog or an article. Some nights, poetry is all that's in there. These strange times when we're forced in, still finding ways to fight and win.
