If I Was Writing Songs Just For

Being Able To Still Make Records Is A Privilege. I Don't Take It Casually.

There Certainly Are Situations Where I Feel Not Empowered Or Uninspired. Particularly When The Person's Agenda Is To Intimidate Through Abusing Their Position Or Their Authority. When I Am Present And In A Nonreactive State, Then I Can Become Like Snake And Slide Through Their "intimidation Net" Back Into The Creative Plane. When I Am In A Reactive State, I Usually Regret Responding, Because Usually All That Happens Is That The Intimidator Feels Righteously Vindicated.

I Survived This Torture Which Left Me Paralyzed For Years. That's What That Night Was All About, Mutilation, More Than Violence Through Sex. I Really Do Feel As Though I Was Psychologically Mutilated That Night And Now I'm Trying To Put The Pieces Back Together Again. Through Love, Not Hatred. And Through My Music. My Strength Has Been To Open Again, To Life, And My Victory Is The Fact That, Despite It All, I Kept Alive My Vulnerability.

Finding People In Your Life As Sounding Boards Who Can Be Neutral And Clear Is Worth Nurturing.
