Sometimes, I Think Trent Just Needs A

My Childhood Was Extreme.

When I Am Able To Be Present, Listening - Really Listening - To A Viewpoint Described Through Someone Else's Lens, I Am Here In The Now And Alive.

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.

There Is A Time And A Place For Things. Sometimes One Needs To Put A Filter On Oneself. That Can Be A Good Thing.

The Romantic Myth Of The Artist Says That You Are The Source. I Have No Illusion About That. Native Americans Don't Believe They Are The Source. They Have Access To The Source. Endless Access. But Don't Get Confused.
