It's a promise to myself. An invitation to live a life inspired by the unfolding Now, the eternal Tao, the revelation of spontaneous flowing creativity.
A life guided by play and improvisation, the temperance of poetic anarchism and social lila, a risky naked voyage into the playground which is beyond time, where my unobstructed nature brilliantly gushes out to meet life with sparkly eyes and puppy dog meander.
Here's the juice: to forget this drive to know who I am, to ceaselessly plan my life, my career, and my impact on the world. To abandon that mentality whenever it arises, releasing myself unknowing and uncertain into that dark edge of unborn creation, where nothing is taken for granted or planned or known until the instant the beat drops. My heart's impulses are there, I can feel them and know them, and by this declaration I intend to clear space to allow them freedom to emerge.
Whether social justice or writing, whether yoga or meditation, whether this or that, here or there, I promise to be attentive to that inner voice, to mute out the blaring expectations of this bankrupt and derelict society.
If they ask me, what are you going to do? I shall say: I am living a life without the shadow of my projections.
