#6 I'll End In My Heart

Episode Summary

Lyric Poetry: One Guitar, One Voice

Episode Notes

• my struggles & values
• I. Private Art: comfortable growth at own pace
  II. Public Art: compressed, pressured growth; leaps if not abandoned; facing pain in public
  III. Mastery: establishing one's voice through one's chain of art (portfolio) = carving one's place in art
• A box is a beautiful frame until it becomes my prison. Mastery requires demolition, undoing, and liberation. Masters fly like birds, and so I, too, must let go and fly.

I'll End In My Heart:

I’m a back-to-earth kind of folk

Hitting the road with my songs

Zen walking, the music’s talking

I’m budding wonderful nonsense

Keep me afloat; carry both hands

Enter the mouth of a cave

No sigh to relieve, steely purpose

From solitude to service

I’m Zen walking; God’s talking to me

Take my hand, lead the way

No more rope; I am breaking apart

I’ll end in my heart

Take my life, lead the way

I’m no more; I am breaking apart

I’ll end in my heart

I’m a back-to-earth kind of folk

Hitting the road with my songs

Zen walking, the music’s talking

I’m budding wonderful nonsense

Keep me afloat; carry both hands

Enter the mouth of a cave

No sigh to relieve, steely purpose

From solitude to service

I’m Zen walking; God’s talking to me

Take my hand, lead the way

No more rope; I am breaking apart

I’ll end in my heart

Take my life, lead the way

I’m no more; I am breaking apart

I’ll end in my heart

I’m Zen walking; God’s talking to me
