lyrics

"I think.. creativity needs a lot of space to grow."

A friend said that to me the other day on a voice memo as I sat next to a pillow by a
window, on the sil of which grows a single sprig of cilantro.
I immediately thought of the numerous times I'd readjusted this vine like herb and how, no
matter what, it would defiantly curve into some new drape, reshape it's landscape, and behave...creatively.

Whether it's aunts or plants or the celoecanth, sneaking out to dance, to climb, or swimming in colder waters away from those grubby scientists with their grubby hands, every creature bears the same resonant feature: to fill the spaces and stay alive, we become creative.

If you stop growing, you stop showing signs of life.

If you start slowing, you'll stop forcing oxygen through your gills, your sense of thrill will atrophy, you'll start to swill the addictive nothingness of passivity into a gut made for ever new things.
No longer captains on the sea of actively seeking a creative means by which to pine through the brine into the uncharted territories of the heart that God gave, we sink.

Don't sink. (G)row.

about

Micah Kimber, Mustache Poetry Richmond, Virginia

My heart is to Love and connect with others by sharing art.
We're each valuable individuals, made in God's image, with art worth sharing.
If you create, share. If you aren't creating, scared of how it'll turn out or how others will respond, I understand. But art is self expression. It's for YOU first. If it's real, you'll want to be heard and someone will hear.
If anything, share it with me.
