There are no magic tricks in daily writing.  Free form thinking allows you to be here.  To be present.  For what is allowed to take shape cannot come from judgement or question.  Writers are tools.  The ink stains on a page might be for today or a completely different place.  For the universe is always speaking.  There are no bandages that can or will fix us.  Ultimately its you getting to know your new self.  Stop thinking that it's easy to win the Power Ball lottery.  Loving life means being present.

What day will I return to this page?  It's an interesting thought because it has the power to predict as well as pull you back into a past you can't change.  Being present always wins because your inner censors can be kept under control.  I asked on that day how much the forest will change when I return on a different day.  The answer is everyday there is change.

What I rarely hear are the inner designs of other creative minds.  Although I’m blessed with the opportunity to share conversations with actors, musicians, authors and yes even chefs, doctors and motivational speakers.  The daily goal is to get to that single place where someone who is listening can hear for themselves that they aren’t alone.  That’s what this has always been about.  You aren’t alone.  Creative minds need to help share the process of becoming part of this gallery of art.  There’s so much history in all shapes and shades of the performance.  But what we aren’t getting are the experiences of those who keep trying.  No fame.  No large money.  They hold the craftsmanship of the performance.  The struggles and the silent nights go unheard.  They reach beyond and not back.  Not everybody’s supposed to make it.  But we can endlessly keep trying.

When written thought becomes spoken word.  Will it be enough to inspire action?  No matter how strong your heart is, at the drop of a hat human emotion easily turns into a follower.  When projected a single thought plants a seed.  Ultimately it’s our choice to believe.  We play the white picket fence game.  Pitting the right side against the left.  Both sides could be right.  How is that possible?  Leaders say things over and over so that those following begin to believe.  It’s like radio and television commercials that convince you to buy a product.  You didn’t need it until they said you did.  Amazon has made billions banking on telling you what you need.  As a daily writer I study thought.  That doesn’t mean I have mine under control.  It means I’m aware of what has strength and what shouldn’t be set free.  Which is an awkward way of moving through traffic in an age when sounding off about any subject gets you hits on social media.  It’s as if we’ve given ourselves permission to bark like dogs. But are you biting? This reminds me of my neighbor.  About fifteen years ago he sent out an email to everybody around him asking us to quiet our dogs.  Please this barking is getting out of hand.  Today he has two very large dogs that love to spread their music through the hood.  It proves how you can turn your bite around.  Becoming aware of what you write before it becomes spoken word.

A cool early summer breeze sweeps across my writing.  The atmosphere of being present gives sight to my senses.  Taking note of last night’s super moon.  It was dubbed a strawberry moon.  I stood watching as it slowly moved across the sky.  It was so incredibly bright.  I could see everything the forest was providing.  Within our personal walk and way, are there moments of such clarity?  What is your super moon?  If we had such a perfect view how much would you change?  We do it all the time in our front and backyards!  It must look this way or it’s yanked.  How much of your inner garden is lit up by a strawberry moon?  An object that can no longer be missed.  It travels with us.  Just like a cool early summer breeze.  If we were to choose to chase the breeze how far from our super moon will we grow?  Will we find our way back?  A fellow broadcaster once told me that each of us are given three life changing career decisions.  The goal is to locate which one will truly be your calling.  What walk did you take that has completely replanted your roots in a different soil and there’s no path to lead you back?  Chasing podcasting in 2012 became my way of life by 2016.  As big as it is around the world there are way too many choices for listeners.  If I had known this nine years ago would the super moon have led me in a different direction?  What choice did you make because a super moon cleared the debris?  You jumped and there’s no way you can get back?  In 1997 I began a creative journey with paint on a canvas.  I really enjoyed seeing it in galleries then getting to know each and every new owner. By 2005 the art was featured in New Orleans.  Bad show.  Very bad show.  I’ve not put paint on a canvas ever since.  I can’t locate the super moon. Locating your super moon is one thing.  Trust it means? How much are you willing to give?
