water to my soul
I can't seem to get enough reading as of late.and now I realize why...I'm searching.I hadn't been sure of for what until today...if you're a creative, you need to pick up this book.I'm only a little into this book, but he is the co-writer of one of my most favorite songs so as far as I trust that...I recommend this book. :)
"burnout is what happens when you try to avoid being human for too long.it's awful - like the blood has been drained from your body, the breath emptied from your lungs.still, the world is obstinate in its demands.produce! perform!you just...can't...get air, but they keep telling you to sing, and they expect it to be in tune." "I had hurt her, but I hadn't realized that I was doing it...and in that pain, I saw the shadow of the decrepit, feeble ghost that had once been my soul.It wasn't the external circumstances that were responsible for my numb detachment from the world,it was the groundlessness of my internal world.this was the reason I hadn't written anything for months.only real things get to create things, not ghosts or phantoms.dead souls do not produce the same stuff as living ones do." "sometimes you have to take a step back in order to see the beauty of something..."
this is going to be good.I'm in a most busy season of life and this is water to my soul and I'm feeling more ready to see and create beauty. :)
