My mind feels so vast that
the idea of putting any thought into words feels impossible because the words seem to make the thought smaller... The thought simply does not fit! So WHERE DOES IT GO??? An idea feels lost if it doesn't grow into the manifestation of what the idea suggests. I want to try. I have been thinking of writing for maaaaannnnyyyy years.... I want to do it before the ideas are lost. Well, here we are; the beginning of the darkest month of the year and I have challenged myself to staying by the fire with my sketch pad and canvases to draw every day for 30 days. It's a 30 day challenge. I was thinking it could be fun to do a different challenge every month... let me know if you want to do a 30 day challenge with me; anything you want to challenge yourself to do for 30 days and we can help keep each other accountable! I wrote this for a friend, thought it could be relatable for other men or anybody else who faces the challenge of self doubt or insecurities within a society that dictates who or what we should be. The name has been changed as respect for privacy. Enjoy! TOM HATES HIMSELF
Because he thinks he eats too many McHamburgers, And he thinks that porn is the best piece of ass hes ever going to get And he thinks that his hat isnt quite perfect enough And he thinks he's too short And he thinks he's too small And he thinks he's no fun And he thinks his heart is black And his bank account is always two steps behind And his home is a hole in the ground And he thinks his skills have a limit And his prospects are blind and too selfish to treat him fairly And he thinks his past is too tainted And his family is too ignorant And he thinks that he's too weak to break free from any of it even though he knows that it's all fucking bullshit. Tom hates himself because he relies on the excuse and habit of hating himself as a reason to wallow and not push his limits and not risk loving and not really live. Tom hates himself because he knows better than to hate himself, he knows that he loves, and he knows that what he loves is what he is. Its inevitable. Its human nature. Thereby the concept of self hatred is flawed and impossible... an oxy moron of hating to love while loving to hate ... a trick to the mind to distract from the heart the inevitably infinite and all encompassing existence and continuum of love.

As an entrepreneur I live with an almost constant nagging of feeling the need to get more done. I've spent the last couple of years investing a lot into my art and my business; investing time, money, learning, risks; following every opportunity whatever the cost, trusting that somehow it will come back to me. Sometimes, with the natural ups and downs of feelings and life, I sometimes wonder if I'm not suffocating myself with deadlines and expectations with no return on my investments in sight, and I find myself asking; "what did I do all this for?"; the challenges that I've had to bust through to continue as the free flowing art form that I Am... ...and every time, the answer to that question brings the downward spiralling thought forms to a screeching halt as the beaming truth of my heart's calling gently lingers; touches it's fingers, in an ever presence that has shaped my life and guided my choices; for me, my horse, Padre. And in that moment I realize that in my doubt and anxiety, there's only one thing to do; put on my riding gear, tack up, and head for the hills. We have, in this society, so much pressure to do, to be, to acquire... it's so easy to get caught up in all of it and forget the reasons why. Today I rode my horse, Padre, and our (mine and Padre's) other horse, Shiro, came along beside us on her rope, and my dog Cloverbelle, too. We rode across fields and up mountains and through sage, until we reached the rolling meadows and wildflower valley where Indian horses run free. Today I felt that freedom in our strides as we galloped in sync to the hill top, emerging into the sky beyond, overlooking the town, clouds of silver mist washed over the view in front of us, we stopped to take it all in, and then we continued on; Padre's hoof beats resounding beneath me, Shiro kicking her feet, throwing her head back and running beside me, the wind in my hair and cape, the silver glow of the sky on my face. I thought to myself that this moment, this feeling, that's what I'm doing it all for, and so long as I can keep these moments close, I will always know my purpose, and I will always find accessible It's infinite inner drive. So, what are you doing all of it for? Don't get caught up. Don't forget. For most of us, we work for something that we already have; the parts of us that we cherish the most, that we don't want to lose. Keep them close and the rest will follow. Just like this blog that I've been putting off writing for months; I thought I had writer's block, but the truth is, I forgot what I was doing it for. I needed only to refuel my heart and my soul. Descending the mountain, across the fields, through the sun it started to rain, I looked back over my shoulder to the path from where we came; and behold a perfect rainbow, winking it's eye, whispering my name. |
