This is how to let it out, the music, the art, the work, the truth, the beat that runs through you –
First, stop seeking to rush it.
It’s there.
It’s waiting.
It will come.
When you let it.
Sit.
Be still.
Let it awaken.
Isn’t it worth that?
This is how to let it out, your soul, your yes, the real, the raw, the you –
Feel into it. Connect deep with it. Just WAIT for it, your job is not even actually to CREATE it –
Really –
At all –
Is it?
Your job is to be the vessel, the messenger, the revealor, but what is actually happening, when you let yourself TRULY unleash –
You let it fill you,
Up.
Until you’re so full that it simply can’t,
Not.
So if you think about it
Or perhaps don’t think at all and simply give yourself space to ALLOW
You’ll realise –
All you have to do is wait.
Prepare yourelf.
Body.
Mind.
Spirit.
Soul.
The role of a messenger, an artist, of US, is simple to spend our days, our nights, our life, becoming who we need to be in order to let our art breathe.
So when you want to escape and to not talk and to go deep, deep, deep, within, where it flows and it’s still, and you connect with your own soul, and you feel every cell in your body, you just FEEL it, and nothing else, NOTHING else, around you matters, and you HATE THE WORLD for trying to interrupt you, pull at you, take from you, want from you, and all of a sudden your breath is coming faster and your heart rate picks up, and you’re moving, you’re moving, you’re moving, faster, and you’re FLYING and God damn it this is LIVING –
DO that.
BE that.
ALLOW that.
Push them ALL away, ignore EVERYTHING, let the chaos mount around you, let the world fall down, and you just.keep.going.
On your mission.
And you just.keep.flowing.
KNOWING.
And when you then pause, and you look up and around and you wonder, startled –
What happened?
When did night fall?
When did they all leave?
Where am I supposed to be?
Who have I forgotten, let down, long lost, and you realise –
I haven’t eaten.
I haven’t stopped.
I don’t think I’ve been breathing!
And you then tell yourself, to stop, to pause, take time back, go back to the normal world, that there’s things to do and people to answer and a life to LIVE –
Well –
Just?
Don’t.
Stay away, hide away, run away, for another moment, another few, another day, because here is what is real and true and what OH so few can ever, will ever, dare ever realise never mind do:
One foot in and one foot out is never going to work for you.
(It doesn’t work for anybody, really, does it?)
So stop trying.
Stop trying to return to them, be one of them, fit in with them.
Stop trying to switch ON and OFF from your art, and admit:
Your life is not for you.
You came for what’s inside of you.
Your job is to let it out of you.
And let everything around you?
Just fade –
Away.
The thing you have to realise is that the magic’s always been inside of you. It’s there, right now, waiting, for you. You KNOW it, you FEEL it, it’s TEARING YOU ALIVE to not be living it, so really, why don’t you just give IN.
Stop giving your life for the bland and the boring and the keeping up and the doing what’s right and the doing what they TELL you.
And go within.
Do what it takes.
To go within.
Remove everything around you.
So you can go within.
Cover your ears.
And go within.
Cover your eyes.
And go within.
Cover your head.
And go within.
Keep going and going and opening up INTO you until you’re so far within that you can’t tell where the real world left off anymore and you don’t have to go LOOKING for what’s inside of you because you’re BREATHING it.
And once in, once fully in, once SO deep in, all you have to do, to let it out?
Open your eyes and just exhale.
It was only ever meant to be what comes out of you –
When you simply be you.
