Boredom

In my experience
boredom is often close to epiphany;
to the great idea.

Boredom is just boredom
until it’s not.

But perhaps boredom
is the wrong word here.

For me
it’s more a kind of distraction -
a sort of letting go.

Or,
the willingness
to relinquish control of an idea
that you thought was important.

I find I can only get to that place
through improvisation,
and of course collaboration.

A friend and former colleague sent me a message a few days ago. The message referred to a recent Nick Cave podcast. I replied to the message and mentioned I have a copy of Cave’s book - Faith, Hope and Carnage. I FOUND the piece above in Faith, Hope and Carnage.

Dream Intentionally - while you’re awake.
