Run with me down the rabbit hole of Stoicism.
At first, we may find ourselves slightly out of sync, but eventually, we discover our harmony. Piece by piece, everything falls into place, and the discord fades away, paving the way for a powerful momentum.

This is also true in the realm of human experiences. Consider the stories of two individuals, Seneca and Musonius Rufus, both exiled to different islands for unjust reasons. While Seneca succumbed to despair and devastation, Musonius took a different approach.

Although Musonius faced a challenging and isolating banishment, he saw an opportunity to make a positive impact. Rather than passively enduring his fate, Musonius actively sought ways to enhance the situation. He shared his knowledge with the locals and even helped them discover a natural spring, providing fresh drinking water for everyone.

Musonius acted upon the Stoic principles of embracing one's fate and actively seeking ways to improve one's circumstances. In doing so, he not only improved the lives of those around him but also found fulfillment in serving others.

On the other hand, Seneca, consumed by his own circumstances, failed to recognize the potential opportunities before him. This serves as a reminder that we too can fall into the trap of being self-absorbed and overlooking the potential for growth and positive change.

Musonius exemplifies a superior path, one that inspires us to build a better world while simultaneously improving our own lives. By embracing our fate, seeking ways to make a difference, and staying engaged, we can create a meaningful impact in our own lives and the lives of those around us.

Sci fi inspired track - if you get a chance, read Adrian Tchaikovsky's "The Final Architecture" trilogy. No spoilers, I am 2 thirds of the way through it.

Nathan had a track here: https://soundcloud.com/nathaniel-ehrnman/slipstream
and gave me permission to mess with it.
I did a couple guitar tracks and a couple of synth tracks, and in the process a set of lyrics
jumped into my head...I recorded them in one take...I could do better, the take is very rough,
but there's something organic about that take that makes me want to leave it alone...

Slipstream

Beside the road
an old man cussed
Played his hand
and came out bust
Nothing left for
for him back there
Everythings gone
just to keep him square
And now the road 
is all he has
Yeah Yeah road
is all he has
Slipstream might make 
another way
But for today 
there's only rain

I must acknowledge the fantastic source of my artwork: Desktopography - desktopography.net/. I am also a part of three art collectives: Desktopography, depthCORE, and EvokeONE, where I have served as the music director.  

I have been fortunate enough to use their incredible works in this format. The heart of this experience lies in the stunning artwork contributed by the talented artists from all three collectives, lending a unique charm and beauty to the BrainStorm visual treasure.
