A Higher Perspective, A Sobering Expanse Of Visual Space, A Breadth Of Fresh Air And View, Soothing Red

@joshradnor what a beautiful sentence!!! I was reading Josh’s “Muse letter” this morning for breakfast and this sentence really stopped me in my tracks. I stopped to consider…wow! It made me still for minutes… a few years to love and connect and create…a precious opportunity to play the being alive thing, experience this thing called life and have I been doing that?!?! …maybe when we die there is some storytelling bank that we have to report to, a library of knowledge for consciousness to grow and mature on, as if we were the means through which the universe experiences itself…of some shit like that. #consciousness #preciouslife #beingalive #gratitudedaily #love #connect #create #share #improbability (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK3lpbUntjq/?igshid=16sye11epkwcg

FUNKY DRUMMER.

A little cheeky funky groove improv to warm up for the day. It was two days before the lockdown here in London. Keep on training!

I am not a feminist nor I can claim to understand women,

but sure as the earth I walk on, I helplessly

really, really, REALLY like the form and essence of them...

and my love is dirty... earthy... and holy.

If to feel you need to be in touch

with what you are feeling (by air, sight or skin),

if you can't feel yourself then,

does it mean you are not in touch with yourself?

But then again, how can that be?

If you are alive, you must be attached to yourself

somehow, by some aspect of you!! It must be!

But what if it isn't?

So much ART everywhere

There is so much art in this world that one needn't worry about ever running out of inspiration.

Are monotasking and multitasking mutually exclusive?

The answer I would give is NO.

Juggle many projects but focus on each one singularly at the time of dealing with it.

[...] The phantom that runs on before you, my brother, is fairer than you; why do you not give to it your flesh and your bones? But you are afraid, and run to your neighbor.

You cannot endure yourselves and do not love yourselves sufficiently: so you seek to mislead your neighbor into love, to gild yourselves with his error [...]

Friedrich Nietzsche - excerpt from "Thus Spoke Zarathustra"

I find this quote devastatingly insightful. What does it mean to you personally? To me it means this image:

The treasure of lifelong friendships

Pietro and I have been lifelong friends. We've known each other since the age of 7. We have gone from a decision made on a bench on an italian small town lakeshore, at age 12, to make rap music together, all the way to London, 2 decades later, doing radio shows on @AajaDeptford.

In between we had a life of memories and conversations and music and adventures.

It is good to pause and celebrate a relationship like this. May we have a 100 more years of friendship and music and may both of us forge many other strong friendships and relationships with many other amazing people.

May we live a life of Magic, Adventure, Poetry and filled with Stories, Play and Meaning, blessed with Love, Freedom and Respect and may we rock on in a beautiful Natural Overflowy fashion.

Big Love Y'all

Writing as an excuse for adventures

Writing, or any kind of art, can be an excuse for doing things you want to and exploring stuff you are into in more depth then you would usually do, so that you can then write about them!

Go check my latest and dearest article on Vocal.media. It talks about the symbiosis between writing/arts and life adventures, passions, personal interests and how to leverage this relationship to your advantage as a creator.
