I wonder what feeds me
I am fed by transformation and the process of unearthing my demons. I am fed by the feeling of growing closer and closer to myself; of telling the truth and letting go of everything else. When I am fed, I feel as big as the universe. What does hugeness feel like?
It is like invincibility, and flying. Like no person, event or circumstance is threatening.
I believe that being and doing are not opposed; they are the same thing. Their antithesis, anything that blocks the flow of energy and movement.
I am fed by a flame and by empty walls, and by a story that is colorful and confusing.
I am fed by the mere thought of humanity in places I have never been.
I am fed by the way life circles back around itself. When old friends and lovers re-enter, revealing what has and hasn’t changed.
I am fed by being fully submerged in the narrative of my life. And by the intimate relationships I can have with songs, rainfalls, and neighborhood streets, so that I am never alone.
