Letters To Logan "Under The Blood Red Sun"
February 6, 2022
Greetings Logan,
This morning, I came across a quote that said that one is more likely to achieve their goals by keeping them to themselves. I thought you should hear that.
It reminded me of the wild dreams I began to have for myself after childhood tragedies in Grand Point. Life became precious and time……..time was so slow in old Grand Point but when Joey died, I stood on the corner and contemplated my future. It was effing on!
Seriously, at first I expressed myself through sports and it was the familiar language in the River Parishes but then I discovered a talent for music at the ripe age of 19. The best thing about sports was the structure and being able to define the parameters and knowing what work you had to do. But art is a ship lost at sea and I had to figure out how to wrangle it back to some sort of shore. I had to find my tribe and their was no guide book.
My advice to you is to follow those things you love and stay curious and work like our ancestors in the field. I think this summer we should go spend a few hours working in the hot field, under the blood red sun. It’s enough to propel you to work through any kinds of coming conditions. When it got hard in New York, all I had to do was think of those in the fields of Grand Point.
But seriously, it’s great to have dreams. But roll up your sleeves and do the work. I live in fear of the little boy who made grand declarations to himself right there on Grand Point Lane. I fear to disappoint him, so I work like hell to be enough.
Much Love,
Dut
