Chu The Cud

Distraction for sanity.

What activities do you lose yourself in?

Writing, listening to and creating music, a cool breeze on a warm day and riding my motorcycle on a beautiful day.

Writing as a creative way to express myself. Whether for myself or not. I can go back and read what I wrote in the past and investigate how the subject of the piece changed or stayed the same.

Music is a true form of therapy for an artist. A temporary escape from the what is “perceived as reality”. Sinking into a deep organic meditation without rules Picking up an instrument and bearing your soul to the universe of one.

The cool breeze flowing around you on a warm day is one of many experiences that can freeze an activity in its place while you ruminate the jubilation of that moment. It also could be a warm breeze on a cool day. A natural biological unexpected joy.

Riding my Harley-Davidson on a beautiful sunny day cruising the Pacific Coast Highway and through the canyons. The only track of time is the location of the sun.

Bobby says…

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

I wouldn’t.

The closest animal to a human is a chimpanzee and I’m far from that. The human being is the most complex of all. I’m not down grading.

Path

Do you believe in fate/destiny?

I believe fate is following the path speaking to you. The path that gives you inner joy and inspiration. To me that’s fate/destiny.

However, this can be altered by choices, which can change your trajectory.

These choices can slow you down or force you onto a different path.

Light introspective.

I arise everyday like the sun, bringing my light.

Some days the clouds oppress me, dulling my light and bringing about grayness and shadow.

Although my light still shines, many are blind to it.

That does not mean, it isn’t radiating.

Initiating purpose.

Wanting to a begin new path.

However, not ready to begin.

Recognizing it, is the awareness, you already have.

Don’t overanalyze. You have begun shifting focus. Trust your instincts.

Perfection is not a requirement.

Confusion is acknowledgment.

Procrastination is detrimental.

Each step cultivates growth.

Breathe it in.

Taste it.

Exhale.

Repeat.
