Creation

pushing aside last night's clutter from the late night burst of creative energy open the blinds and let the warm light stream in select the perfect playlist and crack your knuckles time to go to work.... channeling your inner self, hoping that it is revealed through your work orchestrating a solo tune that you and you alone know a meditation on things past, on things to come a way to unearth the substantial from the minimal and breathe new life into old materials wood set adrift, turned amber from the elements metal oxidized a golden brown and discarded plastic brought together in an unlikely unison weaving together a tapestry of auxiliary parts whether art for art's sake or treading the precarious waters of the political realm art and its processes mean something for earth without art is 'eh' so continue on burning the candle at both ends creative types throw caution to the wind and let your hair down for the unmitigated impulse, when strong, is a difficult thing to silence for every stop along the way brings new obstacles to overcome new directions to tread so be bold, be not shy in the quest for personal expression unfurl your hopes and dreams, inject your very essence into your work let it stand on solid ground, amongst the timid and the meek let the firm foundation of your creation be a lightning rod for conversation let it scream with intention and innuendo do not sink into apathy but rise with the flare of the morning sun let everything you touch be rejuvenated do not waste a precious second on the ephemeral streams of the market nor fickle collector make art for all the RIGHT reasons cast off and set sail for the remote local that is a true artist this land of rarefied air where food is scarce and rent is a constant longing do not be discouraged or disenchanted but beware this is not for the faint of heart blood will be spilt and tears will be shed but it is not for nothing, do not be forlorn for art is the prize and that will be just fine so push aside all of last night's clutter and get to work
