• The future turns out to be something that you make instead of find. It isn't waiting for your arrival, either with an arrest warrant or a band, nor is it any further away than the next sentence, the next best guess, the next sketch for the painting of a life portrait that might become a masterpiece. The future is an empty canvas or a blank sheet of paper, and if you have the courage of your own thought and your own observation, you can make of it what you will.

• Well you're in your little room
  and you're working on something good
  but if it's really good

  and when you're in the bigger room
  you might not know what to do
  you might have to think of
  how you got started sitting in your little room

  But I disregarded detour signs,
  And did not stop til you was mine.
