DISPATCH 009

Mirage // "Blood For The Return"

"I was born in a dark place and then I found you there."

You will be tested. You will too often sit through a steady drone of gripes and frustrations from slow-as-snail friends and colleagues lamenting the fact that they aren't further along in whatever it is they think they are doing. You will be expected to agree with their loud proclamations and fervent belief that they deserve more by sitting absolutely still than those who move and shake and "make it". You will be asked to tamp down who you are in their presence because nobody likes you if you stand taller.

A few of you will finger paint with mud on the sidewalks of your youth. A few of you will buy a battered, rusty-stringed acoustic guitar from a second-hand store. A few of you will pen-scrawl in the dusty margins of every book you check out from the public library. A few of you will pick up a single microphone and press record on whatever device is close at hand and captures sound. A few of you will create magic.
