revolutionaries

i feel like god is telling us that we are meant to hold such authority within the realm of art. 'we,' referring to this mass of humans who possess a godly worldview. god. and his trinity, saving lives by the tenthousanth of a second. 'we,' referring to our (my) generation. this upcoming and growing force of artists who are not being drilled into the ground by the monotony of a taxing life. we who are inspired to never stop making art until every bone in our body is thoroughly satisfied. we who are not afraid to give everything we have all at once because we know that ultimately, god will sustain us. and god will fill us when our well runs dry and there is no fear in this life except for the fear of the great almighty. fearing him like a little child fears and reveres her father. wanting nothing else but to please him.

i feel that god is calling us. and god is preparing us for something huger than our pea brains could ever fathom. i feel it. more than anuything i feel it. and i know that you do too. so i'm sharing in hopes that you might be inspired and tell someone else and they can be inspired because of you. and this cycle will insight revolution. i believe this.

amen.

advice from dada forerunner

"Do not admire yourself. Do not let yourself be shut up in a revolutionary school which has become conventional. Do not allow commercial speculation. Do not seek official glory. Draw your inspiration only from life, and have no ideal save that of the continued movement of intelligence." Francis Picabia, March 1922 in Litterature
