it doesn't matter, but it is everything
Every Wednesday for the last three years I have sat down at my desk to write. A promise to myself. To write. To try. To show up just to see what happens.
I have a spell cast for each day of the week in my notion planner. “my job is to research life and bring it home”. I take this mission and calling both seriously and superficially at the same time. If nothing else happens, I sit down at my desk to practise the thing I do because if i didn’t do it it would hurt too much to live, I have done my job. I have created the thing, I have lived the life I promised myself I would live.
If I’m not in good working order to be able to write my newsletter. If my brain is being mean or I am if I’m in a headspace that isn’t conducive to exploring my minds eye, dusting and sweeping the corners, I get up to walk. I walk and hike until I feel the thing is gone, or quiet, or exercised long enough to listen to what is actually there. And if nothing else, I hike to go live life. I cannot write about life or creativity or the intersections it holds if I don’t also get up and go live life. Every artists double edge sword.
If I sit at my desk, and write because I promised myself I would, not because I promised to be a good writer. I have done my job. If I promise myself that I will sit down and write for an hour and then send it out into the world. I’ve done my job. To research life and creativity in the intersections that it holds and bring it back home to show the people. Whatever person wants to listen. Anyone, no one. It almost doesn’t matter. It almost isn’t any of my business what happens to my writing after it leaves me. After I cast it out into the world I cannot control who or what sees it and if they like it or hate it or don’t care about it.
Because The Big Beautiful Dream it isn’t about what happens after you create. It is about creating. It is about that ripple effect that creation has. If I write today and tell 500 people, 5 people, or whisper it to 5 mice. I have done my job.
So let’s getting something really clear here in this space I occupy on the internet. In this real-estate I take up in your inbox – a space I feel grateful to grace and also know it is none of business if it occupies anything or nothing all at once. If you sit in your house painting everyday, stack all your paintings on top of each other and never tell a single sole. Only whisper those paintings dreams and intentions to yourself. That is just as powerful, honest, brave and valuable than any Ted Talk, stage, long subscriber list, or six figure business. Both are art. Both are beautiful. All are needed in this world. And all are extremely seriously promises to hold. Because we are not promising to be good. We are promising to try. And that is earth shattering shit.
