So, we’re doing an Open Mike night at the store this Saturday at 4pm. I’m going to suck it up and do a piece.
In all of my years of writing in a journal, there is only ONE entry that has stood out so prominently that I actually remember exactly which notebook it was written in. Today, I read that entry.
I’m nervous about it, but I’m excited to “do one thing that scares me.” Which means that I need to edit it. Make it pretty. I’ve read it to a few people and most at least feigned genuine interest in my reading it.
I’m excited to be doing something with my art! It’s an exciting feeling.
Every time I read this piece, I am ALWAYS taken aback my how it applies to my life today. I some times wonder if I wrote the entry those years back so that I might be reminded of the message in the here-and-now.
I think it’s pretty powerful stuff, at least for me.
And Saturday I share it with the world.
