This Is My Place

This is my place:

this is my place to share, openly and honestly with whatever thoughts and ideas I may have, as well, it’s where I write what’s present to me, emotionally, spiritually, any state that seems to have a certain grip on me is shared. It’s not a form of therapy, although it does help to write of my dark times, having words pour out as a confession of sorts, seeking a creative outlet for things I otherwise wouldn’t say. For me, it’s always about art, and even as I write about depression it’s shared, hopefully, as an artistic expression directly of this moment.

this is my place to write, create, for my art to exist.

there’s always a similar theme here though, a thread of mindfulness and awareness that weaves through everything I write, sometimes in a subtle fashion, and more often directly to the point. It’s the underlying reality of art, that it all springs from a deep awareness, consciousness, our common soul that seeks a voice for its expression. It’s inescapable for me, for any artist really, yet I seem more drawn to write of it in obvious ways and that’s been the nature of my work.

this moment, for at least a few words, this is my place to write and share of depression — I find myself in dark, heavy moods, cloaked against me, unavoidable. I’m depressed, as happens on occasion. It’s a similar theme as well, playing often…
