“Through love all that is bitter will be sweet, through love all that is copper will be gold, through love all dregs will become wine, through love all pain will turn to medicine.”
—Rumi
New year rebirth pressure wake up uncertain yesterday’s surge was surer have to push through things’ll be great get fresh air pumping in your lungs,
faith,
chatter don’t matter,
you know this feeling,
aren’t you a pro by now. Yes.
Powerhouse.
Thunderhead.
The mass that accumulates before a storm.
If you work as a ritual, even when you’re blank, blocked, or frantically uninspired, you oil a machine inside you and can begin to rely on lightning to come.
Solo mission.
Picking up brushes for the first time in a long time, facing the special hell that painting can be, diving in as a symbol of where I’m headed.
Entering the space age analog-style.
Holed up working all day and late nights, I like it just fine.
🎶 x The Staves/Bruce Springsteen
Progressing into the new year by regressing.
Friends, we all in it together.
