You Are The Poet Of Your Life | Moody Black Ep. 109

"POETRY … IS THE REVELATION OF A FEELING THAT THE POET BELIEVES TO BE INTERIOR AND PERSONAL WHICH THE READER RECOGNIZES AS HIS OWN."

Salvatore Quasimodo

Many of us have experienced the beauty of art.

It could be a book, song, poem, or even a painting. For some reason we can't explain, it just speaks to us. That's what happens when the emotion within us is articulated through art.

We get an instant connection to it. It becomes a part of us and we wonder how the artist was able to capture what we were feeling so well.

Often times, it's because that artist experienced the same emotion and spent the time to reflect, meditate, and unpack it into physical form.

That's what happened to my guest today, Moody Black. In his words, he was a young adolescent when he realized:

"POETRY CAN SPEAK TO ME"

Moody Black

When was the last time a craft, grabbed your heart?

I'm a firm believer that we all need an outlet for our emotions. Whether it be singing, an instrument, poetry, journaling, or simply meditating. If we never slow down and analyze the things that impact us each and every day, we're bound to crash into a wall of emotion we didn't see coming and can't understand.

Some would call this "A Meltdown."

Don't let that happen to you. If art can tell us anything it's that you are not the only one going through what you're going through. That might not solve the issue, but there's something powerful in us realizing that we're not alone.

Hop into today's episode and listen to Moody and I discuss wearing your passions on your sleeve, applying your unique skills in creative ways, and staying connected and relatable throughout your growth. You'll learn so much more than how to be a poet of your own life in this one.
