Doing Our Thing

It was busy on the hill this Saturday morning. Well, by the hill’s usual Saturday morning standards anyway.

Sometimes it is. Mostly it isn’t. It’s not always an easy to thing to predict, and it’s not always the weather that is the main factor in the equation.

The whys and wherefores of levels of busy-ness might be possible to work out though. It might well be possible to discover why lots of people do one thing and not another. Watch one thing and not another. It might well be possible to discover why loads of people downloaded one song but not another. Attended one gig and not the next.

It might well be within our means to discover the essence of popularity itself.

And if we spend time doing that, it might well be in our best interest to change the way we do what we do, in order to fit in with the requirements. It could make our lives better.

That might all be needful and necessary. Sometimes it is.

But…if we enjoy and get pleasure from what we do, and perhaps bring that same joy and pleasure to a few other people, then it might well be worth not bothering with any of that, and just carry doing our thing.
