“If you have an idea you’re excited about and you don’t bring it to life,
it’s not uncommon for the idea to find its voice through another maker. This
isn’t because the other artist stole your idea, but because the idea’s time has
come.
In this great unfolding, ideas and thoughts, themes and songs and other
works of art exist in the aether and ripen on schedule, ready to find
expression in the physical world.
As artists, it is our job to draw down this information, transmute it, and
share it. We are all translators for messages the universe is broadcasting.
The best artists tend to be the ones with the most sensitive antennae to draw
in the energy resonating at a particular moment. Many great artists first
develop sensitive antennae not to create art but to protect themselves. They
have to protect themselves because everything hurts more. They feel
everything more deeply.”
