The challenge of “The Way of an artist “ is when you wake up in the morning, write 3 pages in a notebook or around 400 words on your phone, computer or just write whatever you can but aim as high as you can and do it daily.
Write everything that comes out. It can be anything, it does not have to make sense, just what’s coming out, it's a good way to clear your thoughts, practice writing, look into the inside and develop as an artist.
I was walking along the trail near my old house. there is a place where the road meets a creek , we call that creek "the rivers of Babylon ".nothing special about that creek, a slow flow of the water, in the dry season , and in the wet one its only a bit stronger .
the truth is that even the wet season is not soo wet, but it is colder. so I was walking there during the wet season, I wasn't just by myself, I went there with few of my closest friends,
Jessica, John, Ronny, and eddy. we were what you would call a crew, we did everything together, and by everything I mean mostly playing video games and experimenting with psychedelic drugs, playing some music, jamming out, driving in the car, going to the woods, and eating a lot of munchies.
As we're walking, we are singing " by the rivers of Babylon, where we set down, and where we went, we remember Zion" in the middle of the creek there were huge stones in like a circle shape, we always set on them, no one barely walk down this deep to woods where the creek is at, only a few people with their dogs. so we were sitting on the rocks, Ronny took out his guitar and without any warning " I wanna love you, and treat you right, I wanna love you, every day and every night " we all began singing together.
it was a fairly cold day, not freezing but cold. the sky was all painted with grayish colors and it was foggy as well, the trees were already naked of their leaves, and the tree trunk had light brown color to it. the ground was full of leaves in all colors, orange, red, brown, yellow. It was a magical day I'm telling you, just sitting there, on the rock, in the middle of the creek, with my best friends, singing songs, talking, and just being together.
out of the blue, we hear this weird sound like we never heard before, it was like a strong low vibration, but it was fast like wings of a helicopter. we all heard it. eddy jumped first "you guys I'm saying let's go look see what it" Jessica was 2nd, being the bad ass she is " alright I'm in lets go look for it " john that was the geekiest one in the crew said " you guys can go I'll be here" " no way " said Jessica your coming with " .
we got up, started walking to the direction of where the sound was coming from, I said to them " hey guys what do you think it is ?" " perfectly government, secret military base" said eddy " ha-ha dude your such a conspiracy theorist . as were walking the sound became stronger and clearer, and was entering my ears like tiny hammers, it was painful ,"yo lets go back my ears hurt "I said, and before I could finish my sentence, the sound just vanished away .
quite, only nature again, birds, wind, no sound, "let's continue" said Jessica, "let's see what it is". john said "let's go back the sound is gone, let's not get into trouble " " we are not going to get into trouble my friends, let's have some fun it is like an adventure, " said Ronny. we walk for like 5 more minutes, and suddenly we see like rainbow lights, looking like small clouds, a reflection of dew, and sun rays, "wow it is so beautiful " said Jessica".
so were in the spot in the woods , where the sound was coming from , there is this beautiful rainbow in the mist , and its everywhere, colors everywhere, then a warm light began to glow , but where is it coming from , it was seen like the light was coming from the air , like if there was a field there or something, and we were all standing in the middle of it .
we were all in the circle just amazed by the beauty of the moment, and just in the highest wonderful moment of my life the sound started again, and we were in that field, this time it wasn't painful, it was soothing, maybe because we were in it . " what is happening guys? let's get out of here said Johnny " all right I agree let's get out! I said and try to run out of the field but we couldn't, and the light becomes stronger and brighter and things started to shift shapes and twist and mix with all particles like oil inside a soup when you stir it, and then it stopped but we were not in the creek near my house anymore.
