“Could I Have Been, Lin-Manuel Miranda?”, to the tune of “Dancing Nancies”, by the Dave Matthews Band, this song and phrasing came into my head the other day one morning … so curious …

His rise so inspiring, his vision equally so, the pure entertainment is well, priceless …

But I ponder and mull on his creative spark, creative drive, his creative way of LIFE,

This the central question I consider, increasingly, frequently, more and more and more,

Parts of the life I live most intensely are those same parts I grapple with so fiercely to control, to eventually shed,

In the end they only create statistics, not inspiration … and most of all I want to inspire, I want to inspire,

Like Lin-Manuel Miranda ~~~
