Goodd stuff man. Love this part: “an’ you wont miss those

My inspiration? That is a good question, my friend. I find old stuff very inspiring. I recently finished writing a song that is inspired by Alice in Wonderland, a very clever, witty, and often poetic story. My song is not a retelling of the original story, but i use a lot of the images, characters, riddles, and themes as metaphors. A lot of fairy tales and old children’s books have a lot more to them than meets the eye. Political ideals, sarcasm, religion…these are all present in these type of stories, but are often hidden behind clever wording or use of metaphor. I also read the Tao of Pooh recently, another very interesting book that explains all there is to know about taoism through Winnie the Pooh. Pooh And The Philosophers is another book similar to the Tao of Pooh. Two of my favorites are e.e. cummings and Henry David Thoreau. Their mastery of words is incredible. I always find something new when i read them. I took a look at Pope’s Essay on Man. Very cool stuff. I really liked this part:

And, if each system in gradation roll
Alike essential to th’ amazing whole,
The least confusion but in one, not all
That system only, but the whole must fall.

The rhyming and rhythm are very tight throughout. Reminds me a little of Ginsberg’s “Howl.” Let me know about any other writers and artists you’re into. I love finding new inspiration. Peace.

hey what’s up buddy? What’s your inspiration these days? I’ve been getting into some weird shit from the 17th century for a literature class of mine, kind of by accident, most of it is put together as long long poetry I found in the library, not quite epic, just couplet after couplet of rhymes about things from farming to ethics. Do you ever read the old stuff? it’s pretty dry sometimes, but you could probably find some crazy rhymes, or at least something to build off of. You might try Alexander Pope’s “An Essay on Man”. The whole thing rhymes, and for it’s time it was pretty cutting edge stuff. Hope you’re well man.

Alone with our thoughts,our dreams our hopes our wishes. so never truly alone. always thinking even when meditating hard to rid the mind of all thought. It is rare to be completely empty of thought and truly alone.
