Upon further review,
my subconscious has decided
that it is not so simple
as to be up to One
to chose One's [artistic] medium:
Music and Language are not my mediums,
I am a Medium for Music and Language.
It is not so much that One works within the medium of One's choice,
as it is that the medium made One the Medium of it's choice.
Skill, practice, patience and self-discipline;
steer One towards a certain medium,
help One be more receptive to a certain medium,
and make One a more fitting Harbinger of the medium,
so in time:
As One immerses oneself in a medium,
the medium envelops One in return.
One becomes one with the medium,
One is now a Medium.

Sort of a play on words, but also seems true.
Medium here could mean 'psychic' or 'a kind of artistic technique or means of expression', depending on the context.
The Gods are Energies. We are adrift in a vast ocean of omnidimentional Energies.
