"In myth, those who see too much are often set apart: the seers, the threshold keepers, the weavers of fate. In this piece, I explore hypervigilance—not just as a symptom of trauma, but as an ancient form of second sight, and how we might tend the wound without discarding the gift."

Bible, the prophet is not recognized in their hometown
The connection between film and poetry, using image, and it's also part of what Maureen Murdock wrote about
So that even just starting something Elemental if you just see like an ocean wave to just follow through with that, through writing see where that ocean wave will take you, run it like a movie
Similar to EMDR and why that movie could take me somewhere because of my state of mind
I'll just say before writing to just write as fast as you can to get some words out, then do a brief meditation of breathing, clear the mind to let an image come to it
The most difficult part I think for people who aren't used to writing is just to trust and follow and not to think about it, comb through that subconscious or the consciousness of the conscious
As I'm doing these experimental writings and classes I realize I need to show students what to avoid to avoid the words like I'm looking forward to lunch, I can't wait till summer, I'm going to do this, and show them the type of words through my own example call it rambling on a deeper level. When we're rambling we're actually tapping into something deep and needed. We need to stop considering rambling as a detriment, especially with those who might be neurodivergent
I think I might actually write a piece about this soon, as I've tried to write about it, but right one more time about how in fractures Alamo Drafthouse in Kansas City was like no other getaway. I mean sure I have screen land and stray cat Film center. There's the new restored theater that's rarely showing films.
But all the ups and downs and even my self-boy caught and return to Alamo and ultimate demise and the pitch article that when they were going to close down the Kansas City one because of the pandemic there was a really good reason why. Unspoken reasons that the workers there finally could come forward and talk.
That every system is going to have its crookedness and the people in them won't be able to speak out because of the fear of being fired.
the films that still could be made
We are still trying to catch up now with the Iraq and Afghanistan
How Chris wanted to join the Marines and then did two years later while in high school
Recruitments people got it outside of theaters
The Transformers how the military will fund Hollywood scripts if they approve it
This is a note: that coming off of the weekend and familial time, it might be difficult to write Monday morning. I eased myself into getting some words out about Fast-Food, but I need the joy. Remember to attach play and joy to things.
