Perspective

A Different Kind of Right…I think that is what I’m settling on for the Title of the New Cd.  I was thinking…about perspectives, I believe I probably think about perspectives quite often. Anyway it kinda hits me out of nowhere, you’re not Wrong in how you view the world, you’re a Different Kind of Right.

Ahhhhh Relief hits like a warm blanket, lights erupt…this was a few weeks ago, and I wrote it down right away, of course…one does not want to forget certain kinds of thoughts, eh?  So next came a mini flood of words:

“We are from the same big sky, just a different kind of light

It’s the same song that heals, with a different kind of right.”

Now, after finally finishing the ‘teaser’ of limited editions, my mind is in Record Mode again, songwriting seems to be what my blood exists of right now.  Ironically, during my Facebook Updates, I had stumbled across those wonderful links again, about Creativity and Bipolar, the Link has been established etc…etc….Famous Bipolar Musicians, Bipolar’s Impact on Society, etc… One thing is clear, and that it’s not necessarily a genius or creative person that has bipolar, and not all bipolar people are creative. Many are not. But most creatives, are bipolar.  Perhaps nothing is clear at all, it’s kind of like ‘What came first?’… I do know this though…it doesn’t take just a few things to inspire me, or it doesn’t take a whole world of crisis either, it’s a personal inspiration. Everyone is different, no matter what, but I go more on the lines of thinking….”Take away  bipolar, and how many creative souls would no longer create?” “medicate a creative person, do they become bipolar?’ The Questions are never ending and they shoot out like giant rays of light in every direction, touching every aspect, to every degree there is.  It’s more like….sometimes everything is under a big magnifying glass, it’s not putting things that don’t exist into anyone with a disorder of sorts, per say…it’s only making what is there More evident, sometimes exaggerated, sometimes brilliant beyond what others could ever see…Magnifying glass, bringing everything, closer, stronger, more intense.

I’ve had numerous debates, talks and discussions on the subject, and I can stand my claim on the fact, that creativity runs in my family, THICK…and no one in my family is bipolar. And others do not see things ‘wrong’ compared to how I see things, we just see things differently.

Imagine a Giant circle of people…above them is an enormous spectrum of light. You see nothing but green, the person next to you sees brilliant yellow, someone else sees red, someone else blue….We’re all looking at the SAME LIGHT but we are each seeing it from our Perspective, our point of view. No one is wrong in the color they see…Just a Different Kind of Right.
