noahgibbsThis week, Brezsny tells the Gemini:
Calling all you big fish languishing in small ponds, all you flashy amateurs who've been avoiding tougher audiences, all you closet geniuses who have used shyness as an excuse to keep your idiosyncratic brilliance under wraps: This is your wake-up call. Sneak or saunter or leap up to the next level of excellence--or else! Or else what? Or else your pretty fantasies will start to decay. Sorry to be so pushy, but I'm aching to see you seize the starring role in the unlived chapters of your life story.
Huh. That's very much in line with a great article that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rightkindofme forwarded me this morning. Guess it's time for me to step up and put forth some actual effort :-)
You're strong medicine these days, Leo. You're 100-proof mojo. You might want to consider pinning a warning label to your shirt or jacket. It could say something like "Caution: Contents are hot, slippery, and under pressure. Use at your own risk." It's not that you're evil or neurotic. It's just that as you revisit and revision your deepest psychosexual questions, you have so much cathartic potency that you're likely to transform everything you touch into a more authentic version of itself. People with weak egos will be afraid of that, while those with strong constitutions will love it.
Y'know, I *have* felt a little like that lately. Guess it's time to focus my energy and do more of that.
