Make me feel alive

Do you ever feel like running as fast as you can just to feel like your’e running from something? We need thrills in life. Thrills are an important ingredient in the LIFE recipe. Not the cereal. I used to scare myself when I was a kid by turning off all the lights and looking under my bed… then I would run as fast as I could from the other side of the room, jump high and create my ” dome” of safety under the covers. I was a weird kid.. but don’t act like you never did that. There was never anything or anyone there but the fact that I was looking for ” something” made my heart beat hard enough that I could FEEL it. A thrill, adrenaline junkie..I was alive and every part of me was working. I knew back then that I needed some kind of shock to jumpstart my creative energy. I literally made up a world under my bed because my mind was moving in perfect rhythm w/ my rapid heart beat.. creativity and senses.. all alive and working hard like a well oiled machine. We lose our childlike WD40 as we get older and I hate that. All creaky and saying things like Santa isn’t real, monsters aren’t real, Toothfairy never existed (super bummed about that one. I was planning on asking her if I could borrow her wings if I ever caught her leaving some cash for tooth..) Sure they don’t exist but they’re super fun to think about. I still create my safety dome sometimes. I try to take moments every day to create a magical atmosphere somewhere around me. It doesn’t have to be a scary thing. Just try to imagine ,create or make something up that could never be real! Fall backwards into someones arms and feel your heart rage. I don’t really know where Im going with this but its Halloween time… Take in the thrills. Notice your heart and the many doors it opens for creativity. Don’t ignore the beautiful ways that the creative mind and physical body need each other. Work together. One without the other is an empty shell… 






and if you haven’t realized it yet today … you are ALIVE. you can see. you can comprehend. you are breathing. you are loved. be thankful.
