wed-nes-day

Written By Clay Crump

Change has been in the air for some time now. I've been trying to get organized and de-cluttered so there's less to debris floating around when the flood of change comes fast.

Sometimes life is like surfing. You have to swim out to meet a wave, or an opportunity that you know is coming.

As it comes everything around you starts rising and moving,

you have to turn and start paddling to match the speed of the wave.

Then when it becoming the most turbulent you have to rise up on your feet to stay on the board and ride with the wave that is pushing you forward.

Even then forces are trying to knock you off the board till the wave runs its course.

Each wave is different, but the motions and the staying balanced stay the same.

You get stronger.

I've never been surfing. Maybe I heard that in a movie or a dream

Clay Crump

Clay Crump is an actor, stand-up comedian, and writer based in Kentucky. In addition to his work in film and television, he has written poetry exploring themes of identity, memory, and the passage of time. Originally writing poetry as a teenager in the early 1990s, he preserved much of his early work for decades before returning to it years later through independent publishing.
His debut collection, NOTES, FROM LIFE, was originally written between 1991 and 1993 and republished more than thirty years later in its original spirit — raw, reflective, and emotionally honest. His work blends confessional poetry, memory, surreal imagery, and themes of identity, nostalgia, solitude, and personal reflection.
In addition to writing, Crump is the founder of Clay Crump Press, an independent publishing imprint focused on creative projects.
He lives and works in Kentucky.
