A Good Idea?

I signed up for promoting the idea of Homesong gigs. Small original music gigs in people’s homes.

Like anybody with what appears to be a good idea, I thought that the world would welcome it, and give it a home. Without much effort on my part.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that it doesn’t work like that. But I’m slow, like everybody else, to realise that I’m not like everybody else. We can’t avoid the reality that we, in our lives, and with the ideas that we put Out There, are in competition with a multitude of other lives, and an even bigger multitude of ideas.

The idea hasn’t withered though, and in fact it’s out there with or without me. And I’m still here.

But I’m really not the one who gets to decide if it really is A Good Idea.
