Jamaican Men, Relationships, Attitudes, Behaviour,Philosophies,Ideologies, Culture, Values, Society

I take solace in the fact that the course of history was never changed by the many but by the few who risked exposing facts by written word reminds me always that the Pen Is Mightier than the Sword. When the self righteous is poked into undying rage the real personality explodes like dynamite and the self proclaimed veneer vanishes into thin air like the mist from dawn. Let the chips fall where they may.

A world of talented People

There's one thing that Talent competitions have taught me and is that we have a melting ofimmensely,talented people undiscovered who give us a glimpse into their lives. So many people out there who will die and never realized their dreams. A plethora of unearthed talent waiting for an opportunity to shine. Diamonds in the rut, being kicked around like rock stones. Waiting for an expert on precious gems with a keen eye for jewellery to discover them and unveil their worth to the world.

I am finding my Voice!

Geoffrey Philps wrote to me

" The real journey of a writer – or any creative – isn’t to publication, rewards, acclaim, but to their own voice.

When you find your voice, you connect to yourself, and then through yourself to the world. Your work resonates. As Thoreau once wrote in his journal, “The whole is in each man.” (And each woman.)

I’ve always felt that your voice is twofold: not just how you write, but what you write about. They inform and shape each other.

You need to read, look, listen, absorb. You need to take the world into you so you can reinvent it through your own point of view.

You need to tune out external voices that speak in the language of the shoulds – you should do this, you should do that – and move into the secret life of your intuition. This other life has its own mind. It will guide you to places that, because they are yours, remain – as yet — unknown and uncharted. For all the self-help and how-to that fills our culture, success is, in the end, as unique to you as a fingerprint. You can only make that path by walking it. It unfolds in front of you. Sometimes it carries you along.

So you need to write.

And write.

You need to write past the point of self-consciousness. You need to quit trying to write: to be clever, witty, pretty, poetic. (Perhaps your true voice is none of these things.) You need to fall through the words into something else entirely.

(Blogging can be exceptionally good for this.)

We start by imitating the styles of others. That kind of mimicry – conscious or not – is like a trapdoor opening beneath you.

It drops you into yourself.

It’s when you lose yourself that your true voice slowly and steadily comes out of the dark. It might be raw and stark and naked. Or howling and slightly mad. Your soul is stamped all the way through it.

Your words on the page and your soul on the line.

Finding your voice – what to say, how to say it, how to speak up in the world – is about making your soul manifest. When you’re moving in the grooves of that soulprint, you know it. And so do others.

This is art."

1Love,

Geoffrey
