Friday Reflection: August 21, 2020 - This This, or This
This week if you want to be an artist every day but the business of life gets in your way, I can relate.\nI went through that struggle this week but luckily I develop some practices that keep me creative even in busy weeks like this one. As a result, I am able to share three pieces in this episode.\nI have a question for you, which one would you write to? Or Which one would you like me to continue to develop?\nI like all three but school is starting and you know how it is. We have to learn to prioritize.\nI like episodes like this one where we get to work together as a community of artists to grow our creative flow.\nIf you can just let me know in the comments:\nWhich one would you write to?\nWhat comes to your mind and heart for you with this piece?\n\nHere are the pieces:\n1\nStrike a match to the daylight burns\nTreating\xa0night like the ash on scorch earth\nRunning blaze the essence of the\xa0second\nPressure place to make time worth the weight\n\n2\nDodge\xa0dirty a look more than a right hook but can't dodge the book thrown at my jaw\nbeing booked before a break in law\nNo breaking\xa0spines\nNo folded corner creases on my pages\nJust scuffs on the cover.\nScoff at a brother from the others' mothers\nLeft us to fend in gutters\nDefend their shutters on windows eyes closed\nYou\xa0safe in here as the storms blow\nDeny your ears when the rattles grow\nStones to pebbles\ntrunk debris\non concrete\non broken streets\n\n3\nFlash from the past.\xa0 Task from the class.\nBack of the facts.\xa0 Flask under mask\nWhack on the track. Stock falling flat.\nPack up them caps. Smacked for the flack.\n\nIf you can just let me know in the comments:\nWhich one would you write to?\nWhat comes to your mind and heart for you with this piece?
