For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
ย But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
Psalm 75:6-7
He walks slowly with urgent calm, chasing distant immediacy. His empty apartment echoes with crowded dreams. He is comfortably uncomfortable, certain in uncertainty, exhausted by motivation.
He is a man rehearsing for a future that has not arrived yet, stacking discipline like capital, guarding his vision like equity, and trusting that one day the interest on his sacrifices will compound into freedom.
