The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 276
Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 276" on Spreaker.
Sitting in a forest hoping it's energy will become words on a page. Then I realize, this is no different than walking up to a comedian telling them to say something funny. Hey Michael Bolton sing a real love song! Or the one that gets me, "We knew you were in radio. Listen to that voice." Which is why I gently glide them into a great conversation about this isn't my voice. It's the growing result of forty two years of great program directors and radio consultants shaping me. Overlooking this forest on the deck puts me twenty three feet up into the trees. That's when I take note of how the trees, tall grasses and slow paced stream aren't really doing the talking. It's what I call "God Space." In all things that we have done, it was planned out days, months or years before you got here. And today happens to be the moment you chose to listen and or react. So many of us live in our past. Everything you do today will be fed by an event from chapters already written. Being mindful of your present means living in the Now. Receiving the story as it's being given to you. It has nothing to do with your past. I don't practice stream thinking. I live it. A lot of us do plenty of practicing bad. Write for ten minutes a day. No judgement. No subject at hand. Just write. Learning to trust the present doesn't just happen. The goal is to know it so you can wear it. The very second someone asks me to write something I freeze up. Stream writing frees me up. If you don't want to write then record your voice on the smartphone. Talk for ten minutes straight. It will get easier then more you work the exercise into your life.
