Tour Journal, Day 24: "Now let me take a trip down memory lane..." It would make sense to write about Seattle right now; I'm in the mood for looking back though. In the spirit of looking back, I say...thank you Portland. Thank you for rejuvenating me. Thank you for making me feel that small things matter. Thank you for the sincerity in your eyes when you greeted me after the show. Thank you for making me apart of your community, for working your charms, for undoing the spell of despair that have been plaguing me over the last few months. In the spirit of looking back, I recognize that this hall I'm performing at this week use to be a synagogue, where in the beginning there was the word. I recognize that it is now named after the great poet Langston Hughes, a man of words. I recognize the legends that have rose from this great city Seattle. I look back, I recognize, and I go forward. I go forward and honor the synagogue in my play's search for a living ritual that is capable of sustaining me in these days, in these times, through despair - ESPECIALLY through despair. I go forward and honor Langston with the poetry of my generation, knowing that it takes a community of nameless ones to birth the next named ones, the next Langston, the next Baldwin, the next Maya. May I be apart this generation, that community, be I named or nameless. And I go forward and honor Seattle by being being a fuckin' rock star. Shoutout to Jimi. 'Nuff said. #spiritrials #tour #tourjournal #seattle #pacificnorthwesttour (at Seattle, Washington)

Tour Journal, Day 2: "Sometimes the path I took to reach my petty goals was so extreme". A little rest will do wonders for you. Yesterday, I had a lot of questions about my journey and what has led me to a small town in Alaska so seemingly far from home. Despite all it's beauty, yesterday was a testament of how I can be grateful regardless of how great the blessing; that the greatness of the blessing cannot compare to my perspective of it. A tired mind can play tricks on me. This morning, I woke up to the scenery in this picture outside my window. I felt ashamed that I was not able to feel proud and grateful that my words and my art has brought me here. So I got into my rituals, I ate right, I enjoyed every moment. I performed for elementary school students, I performed at a local open mic. I fought the demons nagging me about more pay and bigger crowds and dues being already paid. I had the strength. At least, felt a glimmer of it. And this view...this view...well, it helped with perspective. But can I change my view when the view ain't so great? I say yes. Just rest. Give what you can. And thank god. Today, I did all of the above. #spiritrials #tour #pacificnorthwesttour #alaska #homer #journal #tourjournal (at Bunnell Street Arts Center)
