we should all be Spider-man 💥✨
we should all be spider-man
a bunch of sweet humans using their superpowers to make great art at Okay Hang!
I am constantly yelling at the world that everyone is an artist. Furthermore, everyone is an activist. My friends Robin says "If you are alive you are a leader". We all have the capacity to sit and think and feel and make. We all have feelings and magic and resources of strength. Sometimes they might feel like the things you might dislike about yourself, but they are your superpowers. Spider-man is a great example of this. Spider-mans superpowers are a hindrance when he wants to be Peter Parker and smooch MJ, but when he's Spider-man he needs his web-slinging superpowers to save the world.Â
Last week I talked with my pal Stylo Star on Process. We talked about the way's we venture into starting and making a thing, but also the return home with the thing you made. The marketing, the show, and the celebration of the thing you made. I always feel my large brain grow three sizes after Shoe Talks and this conversation made my brain grow galaxy-sized proportions. Â
Process is the same in all creative endeavors. Art-making or revolution. We need to channel our superpowers. Our feelings, our magic, our resources of strength. We must journey to find the magic elixir. The journies and answers to revolution are abundant, we know the things we need to help sustain our homes (Universal Income, Defunding the police, access to Health Care, and their supports). But we need the return home. The return home is the action we take, the hard (awkward) conversations, the letter writing. The return home is just as uncomfortable as the journey there, when we get to the end holding the magic elixir of the thing you made or the revolution you have sparked, it is hard to know you'll have to go through it again. But it is worth it. Because the world deserves your art, the world needs your revolution, the world deserves your superpowers. (If you want to hear more about the creative hero's journey I super super recommend Andy J Pizzas Podcast, Creative Pep Talk)
What are your superpowers? What is your call to adventure? What are you ruminating on? What actions are you planning? I'd love to hear all about it.
I love you all
