holding tight, riding loose

“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.
