I just asked my muso sister, Smashka Wordn, to post this on my page, because its totally brilliant and I really wanted everyone to see it, but it gets lost in that wee little box, so Im cutting and pasting: I have once before been so low - that I felt like even my death wouldnt be a strong enough blow. To make the people feel my pain. Wanting to push the blame. Show them so theyd understand. Wishing someone would just take my hand. Touch me in a way that I could once again feel & lift the illusion that was blocking whats real. I told myself, when I was at that point, that this would all be a memory id look back on one day. That all the shit would melt away. That Id be stronger from it in some way. A thousand years I felt it took, while I watched my ground crumble as my reality shook. But now, just as predicted when I look back on that time - I see it as an integral part of the climb. Even tho those people pushed me down & grew higher, caused me to believe that all people are liars, caused me to shrink back inside my own skin & hold back the essence of the beauty within - it humbled me somehow. Opened me to Now. Made me sit up & look around see what else could be found. I stepped out of the battle & stopped playing their game to wake up & realise Id been just the same! The only power they had over me was the power I gave. When you rise or you fall its in how you behave. The respect, or lack of, which others showed me, was actually an indication of what I myself see. How you hold yourself round others and how you come across, builds a portrait over time of the lines people cross. If you dont let someone cross a line the first time, they wont do it again; but let patterns play out & youll cause a complex trend. One thats hard to end & can instead cut you from a friend. People treat us how we treat ourselves. Its a hard one to swallow. Coz theres arseholes out there who no one should follow. But irregardless of someones general tone, when you respond with your own, you create a harmony; how that harmony sounds is up to both sides to agree. If it doesnt sit right dont lie to yourself or shrink down, move your pitch around till a better sound is found. The one common denominator in every experience is you. What part of the symphony will you play yourself to?!
