2 Reasons You MUST Hurl Yourself Into Adventure featuring a Song With Me And Maggie Maggots!
Jack White’s voice sang out in my room as my alarm went off this morning.
I looked on my phone and saw this, the second my eyes opened:
And we knew what we needed to do.
Maggie traveled by plane and then by bus to the mountain.
We’ve had a lot of adventures together since we met in 2008, traveling the world with our friend, Emilie Autumn.
Last night, among fireflies and under the moon…
Maggie had her haunting glockenspiel
I had my guitar
and our voices cut into the dark night
rising and falling
like spirits weaving through air.
An iPhone heard it all, remembered it, captured it….
on this moon mountain mystery night.
If you were there with us –
this is what you would have heard:
We call ourselves Mirror Sisters.
And because of that tweet this morning – we thought:
We have to put it out there. Fuck it.
Just share it.
I have a question….
if you have a dream….
if you are fucking around creatively and having fun…..
what are the reasons you don’t put it out there?
I know my top two:
Number 1: Being judged negatively by others.
Number 2: Fear that it’s not good enough.
Right now, Maggie and I are sitting on the porch writing lyrics. We’re gonna play together on this perfect day and let ourselves just do it.
I told her what I was sharing with you and she said:
“When you’re a kid you don’t think about it. You just put it out there. When you’re an adult you have an expectation of what you have to do and who you have to be. It stunts the creative process.”
Then she said:
“There is no destination in creativity. It’s not that I get to this place and then I’m done.”
So we continue an adventure…
