Title: Back to Glory | Type: original fantasia piano music session
When I think of glory, I think of achievement or a desirable state. When I think of it as a direction in life, I think of creativity, beauty, health, time well spent, joy, true happiness. Sometimes it can mean to fight, to defend, to take effort. Sometimes it can mean following a path of constant, smooth, enjoyable motion, following personal interests, feeling alive, elevating one’s state, growing, while respecting resources, boundaries, and other life forms.
The title could have been “Back to Greatness”. “Back to Glory” is stronger, and it's what popped into my mind recently. Maybe my body's cry for getting back to creating beautifully again?
Why back to it? Have I, or have we as individuals, neighbours, collectives, companies, societies, nations, humanity lost it? I can’t speak for you, but this is how I relate to it: Maybe it’s simply in my DNA, maybe we all have it, but one of my values seems to be greatness. I love great things, days, environments, objects, designs, results, states of being, people. I believe we human beings are the greatest tech that exists on this planet, and that each of us has tremendous potential for unbelievable awesomeness. Incredible potential. And even more so when you put a couple of us together working on one thing. It’s a joy for me to see the development of the human race from today’s perspective. History teaches us where we come from, our lifetime experiences show us the current state of art. Of course not everyone would say they lead a glorious life, and we all have different stages in our lives. A potential for awesomeness also doesn’t mean we are automatically entitled to it. After all, it’s a potential. But one thing I believe is: We all are born as glorious beings. Most young kids, and some adults, remind me of the insane potential there is almost every day.
I once had the idea of creating a KZfaq channel filled with music that might somehow slow down the fast pace and rush of so called modern life on earth. At least for some. My ideal was to create, record, share the best music (and video) I personally was capable of. For me as a pretty average person, I knew this would mean dedication, focus, some renunciation maybe, and lots of work. Was I able to create what I set as a goal for myself? I don’t know. In the past, most of the time I felt like I didn’t get even close to my full potential. But recently I learned to accept that for a few minds and hearts the music I create is just right. And that’s something I’m very grateful for.
I still don’t know the exact cause, it might also have to do with an unbalanced lifestyle, but I got weaker in the past years. Maybe I burned out a bit? I cannot carry heavy camera systems anymore to film nature, I need more sleep, can’t watch at computer screens for too long, there are days when I feel I got only half of the energy I’m used to, or less, in some of my days. Maybe you are in a similar situation, physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually, or maybe you are completely fine and super happy. I for myself had to take a slower pace in the past years, and it might be necessary to continue this way for some longer. But I also noticed just recently that there are two states of being. One is to grow, the other is to diminish. Of course there’s also a super important third one that I’d call to regenerate, but I believe that’s a healing state belonging to the growth state. What I noticed is that I want or need to be in that growth state again. I need a goal. A reason. A vision. A direction. One that is true to who I am. To move forward with meaning. On more than one dimension in life.
I’m not ok anymore with seriously risking health for the success of work or results. I will allow my engines and systems to get warm or even hot at times, but I don’t let them burn (anymore). With that in mind, I want to find ways to continue creating beauty. Efficiently, effectively, and sometimes just for the sake of it. Following my inner voice, the me inside of me, allowing ideas to manifest, while respecting resources, boundaries, and other life forms.
I can’t know where you are in life. But I’m sure you’re born as a human. That on its own is glorious. Breathe glorious you, breathe, as long as you can, be yourself, grow, play, love, take the game controller into both hands and play your life game, feel the beautiful light around you.
To infinity and beyond,
Hugs,
Michael (relaxdaily)
