I'm A Hard Worker. I Get My

Sometimes You Need To Take A Departure From What You Do To Something That's Slightly Different In Order To Get Inspiration.

After A While, Though, You Realize That A Whole Slew Of Young Singer-songwriter Piano Players Are Getting Compared To You. That's When You Feel The Passage Of Time Is Occurring.

If All I Can Say Is I'm Not In This Swamp, I'm Not In This Swamp Then There Is Not A Rope In Front Of Me And There Is Not An Alligator Behind Me And There Is Not A Girl Sitting At The Edge Eating A Hot Dog And If I Believe That, Then Dying Would Be The Only Answer Because Then Death Couldn't Come And Say Peachy To Me Anymore And After All She Has A Brother Who Believes In Hope.

There Certainly Are Situations Where I Feel Not Empowered Or Uninspired. Particularly When The Person's Agenda Is To Intimidate Through Abusing Their Position Or Their Authority. When I Am Present And In A Nonreactive State, Then I Can Become Like Snake And Slide Through Their "intimidation Net" Back Into The Creative Plane. When I Am In A Reactive State, I Usually Regret Responding, Because Usually All That Happens Is That The Intimidator Feels Righteously Vindicated.

My Childhood Was Extreme.
