I'm a scholar, indefinately. It's part of my being. I'm a philosopher, as a matter of practice and study. Philosophy is essentially the inquiry about Morality, Reality, Religion, Knowledge. Most people don't even know that much about the study or why it's important. Here is the most basic essential phrase to all philosophical thought. "Challenge all you know and learn." This all is to say, I have a BA in Philosophy.I have come to terms with the reality that I am a scholar by nature, but an artist by necessity. What does it mean to be an artist in this day and age? I ask myself and others frequently. I believe art is simply an expressive creation, and these we see in a myriad of forms. So is it necessary to play music? paint? write poetry? build trebuchet out of scrap? climb trees? yawlp from the rooftops of the world? none are necessary, even a tangible product is not necessary. it surely helps. But we are all artists in one way or another.I often feel real creative energy but have trouble finding out how to apply it. I'm constantly pushing bounderies of lyric form in verse, breaking and binding rules of grammer, (grammer is the death of all semantics) I would probably be more prolific if I was in the company of more poets, but this is not the best environment for it.I play music, (much less write it, something about melodies always hung me on a stick and never let me down) through my stage pursuits and experience in Theatre I earned myself a decent voice and have been playing guitar for years, but never had monumental break throughs, just good enough to enjoy myself.Are we all searching for a medium?I'm a mystic, isnt this whole generation with Pluto in scorpio though? I am a scholar of the Futhark Runes, Tarot, an amatuer in crystal healing, chakra energies, meditation (such an amazingly important part of personal journeying and self discovery), yoga.There is something I'm looking for ou(in)t th(here)ere but I'm not sure what it is. I've seen it among people, travelers, musicians, local, dogs, and hobos. I'm trying to reconsile the tension between archetypal self-actualization and nirvana, something of the two I suppose. true beauty the way Neitzsche talks about. A way of living that does involve buy/sell/need/throw away throw away throw away. And I think I'll find it partly buried inside me and partly in the appalachia, northwest, big apple, and I dont know what,Are you looking for that too? let me know if you have found any pieces. ..
