Track 287 — Trepidation

The anxious hesitation before stepping into the unknown.

D minor, 66 BPM. Violin tremolo as anxious undercurrent. Halting English horn melody that starts, stops, restarts. Chromatic bass clarinet creep. Irregular timpani heartbeat. Crystalline vibraphone moments.

181st unique emotion. CC BY-SA 4.0.

I thought long & hard about someone's post, lost sleep over it struggling whether to reply and address a #toxic pattern I have observed in that poster for years now.

I finally did post that reply with some #trepidation. I hate myself for posting it, because that reply is not me, but I saw no alternative. In fact, I should've done it a while ago; not embolden them w my silence.

A certain clique likely pillories me for it, but I stand by my position. It's time to call out #toxicity. 🤞

Today's poem:

The Fist
- by Derek Walcott

The fist clenched round my heart
loosens a little, and I gasp
brightness; but it tightens
again. When have I ever not loved
the pain of love? But this has moved

past love to mania. This has the strong
clench of the madman, this is
gripping the ledge of unreason, before
plunging howling into the abyss.

Hold hard then, heart. This way at least you live.
