Thank You for creating an opportunity to actually utilize my experience and process…. Seeing it spelled out before me is very therapeutic since everything I do is to “reactionary” this for me is a form of Shadow Work where I actually take a break from being me in the now, and self reflect!
I can’t thank you enough!!!!
Also, I hope that the ramblings made sense…
In hind sight I Do feel that there is a lot to be gleaned from the messages.
It is interesting to see how the “self” operates
The next part I write I feel that I have to address is Confidence (Great) vs Ego (Bad)
Have trust (Confidence) in work. Work (that’s the little engine with in you that say “I Know I can… I Know I can) ….. Yesss…. The best and Only True poetry comes from this place! Even if it’s from loneliness, darkness, and melancholy … Confidence is the inertia to create art, keep moving, even when times feel hopeless…..
Ego sucks! Ego writes BAD poetry, doesn’t care about the reality of the end result of the piece, it’s revelling in the moment of thinking it is putting down profound words, phases, and imagery… Ego in Any form is my personal kryptonite!
I HATE Ego! and that goes as far back as watching jocks on the school football team. Ohh how I loathed them and swore that I would Never aquire Those traits! Ego is cocky!
Ego is drunk driving, Ego only thinks of “self” ….
Ego is incapable of writing or understanding Poetry.
It’s sugar and gasoline, you cannot successfully blend both…. The engine WILL SEIZE!!!!
(see …. More self reflection) Thank you my friend…… THIS is Very therapeutic for myself (to see the clockwork design) and I Do so hope that some of my ramblings resonate with you…..
As I Do believe that within the text lies keys to access some really amazing pieces if utilized!!
Either way …. You got this!
(Keep in mind that I Only started “writing” in 2020 and didn’t take it serious until Jan. 2021…….
All of this is new to me… I started with a blank slate.
