inspired by my friend Micah BlackLight id like to take a few moments to share how i feel about somethin : we wanna be invincible, impervious to sickness, free from depression, always productive, constantly happy, and full of life. we think that if we figure out the secret to doing this we will have our answer and be able to live the rest of our lives in the state weve decided we wish to be in - namely the happy state, but one that is rooted in our actions, feelings and achievements. we want to be super heros, super humans, strong and always beautiful. as a woman i find that i have a cycle - a menstrual cycle - during which my body and state of mind shift and force me inwards. this is a time of examination and self-reflection, but not a time of creation. in fact it is a time of clearing a new death to make room for the possibility of new life. i find the same cycle exists in my life, periods of intense self-reflection and creative desert that i sometimes call depression, especially whist in them though less once past them. after these times come times of fruition, creation, action, bliss, and power. i used to love one and hate the other, failing to see the connection between the two. it is the one that feeds the other, nourishes the other, creates the womb for which the other may grow in. it would be foolish to praise one and denote the other, because as leonard cohen said best it is the cracks that let the light shine through. lets not get confused and call our low times bad. we need them to create space within ourselves. lets be happy through them, knowing the gifts that they are bound to bring.
