I think creating and sharing my art has brought me more clarity, more peace, more presence, more compassion, more self-awareness. And it's made me feel connected to others in a way that nothing else has. I would say emotion is energy in motion. So it has to move.

And if it doesn't move, it gets trapped inside of us and it can become disease, you know, disease, or you take it out on somebody in traffic for no reason. So you have to find ways to move the energy and to share the stories that are trapped in your mind and in your heart and your body. And there's many modalities to do that.

You do breath work, you can, you know, do yoga, you can go to boxing even and have an intention behind your practice. You can, I don't know, meditate, go to therapy. There's plenty of avenues, but one that is underused is creativity.

You can create and move the energy and you can alchemize those things that are trapped inside of you so that they transform into something else and you can feel energetically lighter and more free.

Well, I have two immediate answers that come to mind. The first one is. A poem about my father not being around and ultimately finding forgiveness. But I think that that's too easy of an answer.

Okay.

Okay.

And the real answer is going to sound cliche, but it's everyone. And then the next one, the one that hasn't been written, because it's the most current and in real time to my life. And whatever it is that I choose to create around is something that I need to express. It's a breadcrumb trail that I am following. I'm the first person in my audience. So I'm not thinking what other people wanna hear.

I'm paying attention in my daily life to when I get moved, when I get inspired, when I get pissed off and I pluck it out of reality and I put it down on paper. And then if I go back to that beginning place, the rest of the poem will almost write itself if I give it enough time and space. So every single one is a healing process.

And it's one of the reasons I like to facilitate for other people to do the same thing, because if they choose something moving and meaningful, it can be surprisingly healing.

That is a great question. What you have to do is you have to hold two truths in the same space at the same time.
