we were once gods
draft creation stories about us
we were once Gods
we were once the Gods who knew magic long before words were spoken. we owned our thoughts and did not doubt them. we knew meaning as they are meant because we were being them.
we are the gods who descended from our high to take a moment of the magic we sensed in the ascent. captured it. studied it. wrote about it. monetized, coded, automated it.
we got busy with the many magics we had named. until we remember nothing else but the names.
perhaps it was the suffering that made us forget but we made sure it was also through the suffering that we will remember. we are the potential we are becoming, so we will actually manage. we already know what will happen to this story.
we are gifts
as Gods gifted us, the rarest form of art, so too shall our art be rarest forms of gifts.
we are gifts. we should express ourselves as we are. as gifts. as art. we art gifts. and gift art.
gift received. gift given. until we receive again. it is not to ask and receive, but to gift and then receive. from within and then without. the currency that matters. the current, the flow. the worthy exchange.
because we are gods, we are the art we gift our selves.
together, let us pray to the Gods we become.

the best art
the best art is the present. the gift of all gifts.
And what else is best surrendered to the divine creation but my most authentic self--skin, property, reality, and story--which I have co-created with her. In the offering I see the equitable magnitude of the cosmos' gift. Here, entrusted to me freely, as a gesture of gratitude and the acknowledgement of offering. We offered each other not because of adulation but because we understand the light within us that speak of gentleness and oneness of creation. And thus, we say:
as art, we are the Characters that Dream saw when she woke up from the lullaby hummed by gentle Sound.
the ones that win the best Character performance are those who are being the role, not playing or acting them. the ones who understand the need to be Certain prove themselves to exist without doubt.
