The challenge of writing “epic” things is not size/scale. You can write an epic tweet. The challenge is to look at a specific thing in a particular place, in the present moment, in a timeless way.

To *want* to write epic things is not about vanity/self-aggrandizement (though it can be), it is about trying to discover how to care more deeply about the reality you’re in.

Both my wine and I contain atoms that were born during the Big Bang.
This wine is literally my cousin.

The epic is born when the universal is contained in the particular, and the particular is repeated in disciplined creative action.
Thanks for the space to articulate and end a rumination I've been having. :)

My cheeks hurt. So much talking, laughing, sunburns. Grass stains on the pants. All those faces, new and old, as the academic year starts. I wish my cheeks will hurt once more.
