Musings on Jeff Buckley/Life In General

As strange and silly as it may sound (be), even something
as simple as wearing a Jeff Buckley t-shirt reminds me to
think like an artist. To find the beauty and narrative in
everything, even, especially, pain and sadness and regret,
is to truly see and interpret life as it is. Attitude is
important, but to be positive to the point of delusion is
counterproductive. To actually recognize and experience
true sadness, and to then weave art from tragedy, is
absolute freedom. This is something that I lose sight of
rather often, and something that I need to recognize and
maintain in order to become a whole person. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT
let an ugly world harden your creamy center.
