Art promises soul juice
“Something in the act of creating connects you to all creation. When you work you are connected to the squirrel earthing an acorn. When you improvise you are connected to the playfulness of otters. When you hum a lyric you are connected to the song of the cicadas.
In sleep you join every slumbering creature under the moon. In breath you mimic the tides, day and night, the rise and fall of civilizations. In love you attune to the lifeforce itself.
Art promises something soulful … what exactly that is, you have to discover for yourself. Leaning into the unknown you open to the great mystery in which we all swim…
It’s so intimate and personal you won’t be able to explain it to your dearest friend, not really. That’s fine, it’s for you, it’s for you this spring you sip from daily.”
