This is riffing off of Lily's last post, which I think sums up my life nicely, because I had a similar thought as I drove home today listening to my Billy Joel tape. I have lost this tape many times in my car, and each time it is under my seat, or crammed in a box in my trunk, and by the time I find it I have forgotten how much I love to listen to it while driving. There is a song on it called "This is the Time". It is horribly sappy and I have embarrassed myself many times singing it as trucks drive past me, but I just love it. The chorus goes something like this: "this is the time to remember / 'cuz it will not last forever / these are the days to hold onto / 'cuz we won't although we'll want to / this is the time / and time is gonna change / you've given me the best of you / but now I need the rest of you".
Yes, horribly cheesy. BUT APPLICABLE! There is something that I forget this time of year, when stress is high and every mountain is a million miles bigger from up close: it will all be over soon. There is nothing worse, I think, than trying to create art without giving 100% of yourself. So although we are not all totally invested in this project (which I think is a shame, because we have such amazing potential) I am still going to throw every part of myself into this process. Be it covered in charcoal, smeared with blood, or screaming at the top of my lungs I will give you guys everything I have, because what point is there in spending this much time and effort on something you only give half of yourself to.
Maybe we crash and burn, maybe we soar, but either way if we go into battle with our heart chakra's open for business there is no way we will fail.
