zen & the art of the turntable pt.5
To things I realized yesterday. One is you can’t have a low fat brownie. The concept is wholly unnatural. It defies the very thing itself. Secondly all the traits and challenges you have in the real world follow you in to the creative realm.
For instance, I’m a fast mover. A friend once remarked they never saw a person move so quick with such small steps. Turn around, blink, and yes, I’ve already done it. It can be frustrating, I admit, for a procrastinator. I’m a speedy scratcher too, and my drive for well-executed words is mirrored in my fader articulation and vinyl manipulation. However, my challenge in life, and same when I step behind the decks, is to slow down, take a deep breath and be in the moment, not hurry to complete it and turn it into a well done thing, but continually be in the process of creation. This is living.
