You are a detective.
Your mission is to document and observe the world around you.
As if you’ve never seen it before.
Take notes.
Collect things you find on your travels.
Document findings.
Notice patterns.
Copy. Trace. Make rubbings…
Focus on one thing at a time.
Record what you’re drawn to.
Don’t stop there though. Expand on it. Share it. Write about it in visceral detail. Extract every last ounce of emotion from it. Make a video of you explaining it poorly. Write a poem about it. Create a not so pretty dressed up PDF and sell it to the world. Hell…
Give it away.
Spark conversations. Drink bad coffee and drink even worse tasting beers.
Look up the sky and try count the stars or not.
You’re a fire filled soul. You’re not here to just fizzle out and die.
You are me and I am you and we are all supposed to be part of a community.
We are part of humanity in all of our little quirks and and imperfections…
That is it.
Stephen Walker.
