I’m happy to report that life is good! LOL I mean life is always good… it is what you make it, right? If your life sucks it’s partially your fault. That’s terrible thing to say, but it’s how I feel. It’s probably not completely true. Anyway, April was such a kick in the nuts. Just things anf things not working out or happening. It was really terrible. I got super sad, but luckily, May has been about rebuilding, realigning, refocusing, meditating, and feeling a much more solid in my feet. Well no, my feet hurt a lot and I’m in pain a lot, but you know what I mean! Structurally sound, I guess, is what I’m trying to say. 

The Stories from The Cauldron project is going really well. I’m so excited about it. I love it being excited about something…. being inspired about a long-term goal and job. I mean I get excited about doing plays or my performances, like the Wave story I did at Planet Queer was pretty fun and awesome, but to know that for the next 3 years I’m going to be this excited to do these stories is kind of amazing! Now that I’m working with Adia, I feel like anything’s possible! We can really make this go! Your finite energy and your finite finances and where you put them is really important. It is how you define who you are, isn’t it? 

I was really concerned I was going to come across as like a Mr I know everything type of thing or some quasi guru or something, but I really feel like I’m just practicing some common sense, and finally sharing with people some of the wisdom I’ve been told and the secrets that I hold. Now I can pass that on to the world and future generations. If that makes me egotistical, then that makes me egotistical and I don’t have any apologies for that. I think it’s more that…. I know Shanna doesn’t like when I use the word burden, but I feel like it’s a burden but a good way. Like a good burden. A burden to move forward… to carry the importance of being an artist of being a sacred storyteller…. and that is not a lonely thing but a heavy thing and a serious commitment, and a serious dedication, and that’s where I’m at right now! And that feels solid and real and important and worthy and hopefully silly.
