    Looking back to remind me of my future.

    Something I've always shared with people, 'namely artists' is that your past work possibly is speaking to your present and future selves. At least that's been the case for me. I am reminded of this today as I revisit material going back as far as two decades or more. Introspection whilst looking back reveals much. Sometimes it's answers to questions you just can't seem presently to find answers to until you realize an answer has been living in a past work of yours. When they say you're already equipped with all you need, this is a prime example of the sentiment. Some of our creations reflect life patterns. They can be iterations of your entire life's play. Time is not linear and the inner you is aware. What you channel subconsciously will never be the same as what you consciously articulate. 

    The image included with this post was a bio written many years ago. It's a mere snapshot of the massive being that is C. It reminds me of not only what I've done but what I am to do and how expansive I can be. It affirms my past, present and future self. It's fuel. 

    Today, I encourage you to take time and look at your work from the past, your journals, notes and anything you've kept but have not revisited in a long while and sit with it. See what comes up for you. Do this sans judgement. Appreciate your history, whether favorable or not. You may find some keys to doors your present self can't seem to unlock.

    P.S. It's New Music Tuesday, there will be a second post later.
