No Contradictions

No contradictions. What an absurd expectation to place upon a person or oneself.

The desire to show up in the world free of contradiction can be paralysing, and it shelters us from mistakes and failures that may enlighten. 

It’s up to an artist to take stances, and then, if we’re open-minded enough, people and experiences will provide us with the feedback to help iron out contradictions across time.

But shedding contradictions is a journey, not a state of being.
