Its 1:11 am.
I'm up and I'm tired but I have no urge to sleep. Insomnia?
The painting to my left..sketches for a friend's project to my right..an unfinished track behind this screen..All of this creative energy today is gone.
I am left with a transient mindset and Acrylic paint embedded in my finger nails. It feels wonderful to have a creative streak..but at the same time emotionally I'm spent. Empty.
Times like this I find myself pondering and wondering. Outside the air is warm and the remnants of a harvest moon settle on the horizon. Sitting outside with a glass of gin I realize from the balcony ..everything I do is reflective of this city. Urban stories abound beneath me. Yes I am in one of those deep moods so bare with me. Although I love urban scenes and what they give to me creatively, I can't help but think that I need to hear the unquiet of nature as of late. Its the solitary light bearer for expression this night.
Whens the last time I heard crickets? 3 years ago?..Funny how you remember the little things..What I would give to sleep by crackling fire and just sit and listen till I fall asleep. After this expressive exploration in city art and music, I will go to more natural surroundings. One thing that would make me smile right now..a forest and a few fireflies..God...
What I would give indeed for that right now.
Oh well stiff upper lip as they say.
