Keone Madrid Instagram – What’s a year to a moment?
A year uncontrollably permeates like the blue ribbon waves of an ocean, occasionally exploding for destruction, with no regard for the life that surrounds it.
A moment has it’s water sit inside a cup on a nightstand, sometimes finished, sometimes partially drank, sometimes untouched. Remaining still, without judgment, waiting for its owner’s next move.
When we set sail for the ocean of a new year, we’re struck whenever lightning strikes. We’re rocked whenever a wave rocks. There are times where the clock seems to be in our control, but right on time, a year reminds. Knocking us back into our idle beds.
After these sobering reminders if we look to our side, past the clock, a moment still waits. Quietly. Disparate from the clock and resumable at a given chance. Asking only one thing…
To be refilled? No.
To be finished? No.
To be picked up?.. Yes.
To just begin.
Start. As you currently are; lightning struck, drowning, or completely hydrated. As you are, just begin… at any moment.

I wrote the above at a point this year where I felt myself coming out of grief. A year where I’ve experienced the highest of highs and lowest of lows. A year with big accomplishments countered by big losses. But a year where I’ve never seen such all around growth in myself as a husband, a dad, as a film and theatre director, choreographer, as a man, as a human. I’m freaking proud of myself, and my family. I like to think I know what 2024 will bring, but I’ve seen that fool’s tale too many times. Instead, here’s to more moments in 2024. Happy New Year everyone. | Posted on 01/Jan/2024 02:12:18
