A TRUE ARTIST KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES

Welcome to that corner of the room where if you are a shy and modest artist you can be among others like you.

Private Jet

The Jet is on standby... my pilot awaits my command.
Should I give the greenlight or should I change my plan.
It's just a matter of priority...and where my heart wants to be.
They say home is where the heart is, but right now I disagree.
Tonight I will fly standby into the sunset, but looking for the sun to rise!

Welcome to my corner!

All of us, from the time of birth jump on this roller coaster ride called "Life". The majority of us remain on this ride until the end, however, some don't. As we leave the gate and slowly proceed, we are conditioned and prepared for what's to come. Little boys and girls taught to be cautious from the time they are old enough to wear diapers are programed for the first leg of this ride. While continuing up this steep incline, innocence is lost. Now comes school and separation from home which brings on a whole new independence. It is during this time that the ride becomes bumpy. The restraints on this ride become too loose or too tight forcing the passenger on this ride to adjust their physical and emotional characteristics. The first peak reveals itself and we cruise swiftly down into puberty leaving childhood behind. As the wind blows through our hair so does insecurity and an overwhelming need to be accepted. Around the first curve comes temptation and most close their eyes to the fright that will one day define who they are. Some will face the danger with their heads up and eyes open. All will scream for the world to hear who they are. Suddenly there is an unexpected drop and mixed emotions interact with responsibility as the air of adulthood hits your face. During this leg of the ride, many check out. Some fall asleep, some retreat, and some give into defeat. All of us experience this ride but it is how we ride that matters. I sit in my corner and experience this ride with the passion of a survivor through the ups and downs. Riding my coaster until it stops never looking back but looking forward to the power that propels me. Entertainment allows me to escape from the roller coaster through dreams and words played or sang in a musical note, but always through the art of the artist within me. Find the artist in you and take a little time to sit in the corner....TJAZZT
