We'll walk this road together, through the storm
I think I am beginning to feel more calm. It's not really that unusual. Life seems to be a series of strange storms separated by long periods of calm. All the same, I value the calm every time it comes around again. Every time it does I manage to stretch it out for longer every time. This calm is not so much one that was brought about by meditation this time. Well at least not the conventional sense. I find that there are a few of my friends that just inspire this calm in me.
Quite often as I meet people most of them seem to be the same. A lot of self centered bull and drama. I love my friends for giving me that bit of hope. They just are good people. They give me intelligent conversation when I am not expecting it. More importantly many of them, the ones I am talking about at least, have been a calm point for me. They have acted like a grounding mechanism directing me in the right way. And the best part is, they don't even have to try. They just are themselves and I gravitate towards a calm, more balanced point of view. I think I'm going to channel this more often now. I know I have been too angry lately. I know some people will not help me, but maybe I should just view them from a distance now rather than trying to be combative with them. I just have to make sure I do not become passive, just peaceful.
A wise friend once said to me recently that we go into art to be ourselves. That everything else we do to be a part of society, but art is something we do to to make sure ourselves are created. While I would minorly disagree, I think that we have to go into art to express ourselves but we always know who we are deep down, I think the sentiment is is very touching. Art has always been dear to me, in one way or another. I wish I could properly articulate why I feel this way, but the even when my mind creates horrific bits of art it brings me a calm afterward. It's like all the pain and strange parts of myself get channeled into it.
I'll see you around I'm sure. Peace be with you too, mateys.
