I am surrounded. Surrounded by beautiful artists, artists from every way to birth creativity. for we give birth to memories help them ease into their next incarnation we bring the memory of music and words images I'm sure my cave dwelling grandmother dreamt of one night after a heavy meal. we are each in league with Da Vinci, Socrates, Shakespeare We dream their dreams We see their visions We see our own simultaneously We walk up to them in the dreamtime shake hands and sit for a cup of joe. For me the title of Bard is not easily given it is a very sacred role in this world It is the voice of the Otherworld in ours It is the touch of the Muse Yet, I am in the midst of so many Bards. How do I find myself in this beautiful life? I feel the excitement building I feel the Muses converging they have been working overtime recently The amount of energy created in the birthing of a creation stirs the energy around it, creating more these are the ripples in the cosmic pond. Who ever threw the pebble in the midst of my family Thank you Our homes will be messy Our eyes red Our clothes disheveled But the things we will create! The epic stories we will tell! This locomotive is speeding up The universe is slowly cutting away all those things which get in the way Sometimes it's a loved one sometimes it's a trinket sometimes it's your whole way of life whatever it is I see the obstacles around each of you falling away I see your lights shining brighter and brighter Are you ready? We are sitting in the midst of a renaissance we are the renaissance and I for one am relieved to be Right Here, Right Now.
