A Life Aquatic (gypsies and joblessness)

Some good news at work. I'll be taking over a team in Krakow, Poland. Taking over... what a phrase. I'm not invading Poland, don't worry. No panzers will be obliterating the border. It should all be very peaceful. I'll just be the Product Manager for another team. This will mean a new job title and a raise. It's a portion of the product and a team to which I am already familiar. The transition should be relatively easy. I'll be returning to Krakow, at some point, I would assume. I went there a few times many years ago when I was a minor rock star - worse: a DJ. 

I've had at least two kinds of adult life so far - an entrepreneurial one and a more formal one, restless joblessness and now a career, running with the gypsies and then this job, in that order. There was that third type of life - childhood. I was neither entrepreneurial nor motivated by any of the tradeoffs that now seem to prompt my days. Ah, what I would not give to be once again ripened with legends anew, etc.

My heart of silk

is filled with lights,

with lost bells,

with lilies and bees.

I will go very far,

farther than those hills,

farther than the seas,

close to the stars,

to beg Christ the Lord

to give back the soul I had

of old, when I was a child,

ripened with legends,

with a feathered cap

and a wooden sword.

- Lorca
