The Schlepper's Way...

Schleppers got to schlep. That is the schlepper's way. No sense in resisting, that just saps your energy. Carry the load, do it gladly, no questions asked.

You will be rewarded. After a day of constant, willy-nilly, here and there schlepping, sleep comes easier. You may not feel satisfied, or gratified, but maybe a little cleansing emptiness opens in the core of your weary being. There is a glimmer of light in that emptiness.

Last night, in deep sleep, it was Nick Cave's voice rising from the void, swirling in my head, probably as a consequence of my current, very fruitful and rewarding obsession with all things Nick Cave & Warren Ellis and the Bad Seeds too.

"It's only Love, with a little bit of rain."  

That is a great, resonant line for a long-time, dedicated Schlepper. Think of yourself navigating a landscape of love with a gentle sprinkling of rain. Sure. Why not? Thanks Nick...
