Working on the Inside

"What's he building in there?
What the hell is he building in there?
He has subscriptions to those magazines,
He never waves when he goes by,
He's hiding something from the rest of us,
He's all to himself, I think I know why..."
Tom Waits, What's He Building In There?

But really, what are you building in there? What magical, dark, great, goodness-only-knows, genius, singular, unusual, unique, wonderful thing is spinning up inside your skull and chest space that you haven't unlocked yet out of fear? Fear of failure, fear of trying, fear of being known, because being known, truly seen, is the hardest thing of all? Gosh, just give it all up and open it all up and let yourself grow and bloom and be. We each inside of us store things we will never know if we don't take the time to use this life to explore and find out just what the inner us is constructing. What are you building in there? Take a risk, take a chance, be real, and show off your weird, your funky, your million-ways-completely-fucked-up, your imperfect symphony, your unfinished work of art, the words you scrabble. Let me see your insides.
