Try, as best you can, not to let

The wire brush of doubt

Scrape from your heart

All sense of yourself

And your hesitant light.

If you remain generous,

Time will come good;

And you will find your feet

Again on fresh pastures of promise,

Where the air will be kind

And blushed with beginning.

John O’Donahue

There is no better feeling than realizing you no longer live in the same realm you used to.

Growth is beautiful-

shocking sometimes; 

scary a lot of times.

But always, once one trips into it entirely; beautiful.

Yes, stepping into something physical is required to take this road. But there’s something more than just this too. 

The physical materials or course you select is the way you manifest.

Where you begin though, is in listening.

You must hear the voice from within first, let to grow in volume to override the voices from without, in order to make the difference that a brush in hand, or saw against wood, or fingers on a keyboard can create. 

I have found that anymore, we can not settle for a skillset; we must hone this yes, but only to the point that is in response to the fine edge of our own intuition. 

I can paint until my last breath with the skillset and tools I have amassed over the years. But I can not make the impact, create the wonder, open the eyes and hearts and yes, intuitions, of others, if I do not now, from now on, respond with these tools and talents I have amassed from my gut first. 

I must let the voice within guide my hand and heart.

And so too must you. This is where we now stand, this world, this humanity, as we face forward in hope and faith that we can make the change that must happen in order for human life to survive.

Let this necessary listening guide you to your own simplicity and evolution, as I have and continue to let mine. 

This still small voice gets louder all the time, as you keen your ears to hear. You will doubt what you’re hearing with your head; but in your heart you will know, this is the truth. 

Follow it.

Be amazed. 

Live in your own personal evolution, so that we all up-level the world.

Now is the time.

And we are the artists for it; here to co-create the world back to life.

in love.
