i am recovering fr grand ambitions and trying to find the sweet spot between grand abstractions that i'm probably wrong about anyways and mere hobbies that run out the clock.

ok the metaphor that occurred to me on my last drug trip is that family, friends community and general emotional + spiritual health are yr craft and grand ambitions are the guiding star on the horizon.

burning your craft to sacrifice it to yr ambition is dumb, and the star on the horizon gives a direction rather than a destination.
