I’ve noticed that in my writing (that I so rarely make public) I employ the words ‘fuck’ and ‘damn’ quite a bit. I realize that this may be off putting or disturbing to some of my readers so I’d like to address it. When I utilize any swear word it is intentional. I realize I could avoid these terms easily but I choose the accessible and authentic expression of swearing. It feels more real, like not a high horse speaking from a superior and filtered vantage point. I am not trying to speak in any way that makes others more comfortable. Academia has totally white washed expression and what is considered ‘professional’ and ‘legitimate’ verbiage. I call it conforming and giving up your power to make yourself more palatable. Just like any word or phrase, it is the energy behind it that truly matters. My wonderful Aunt Sandy tells the story of people in the South using the phrase ‘bless your heart’ to essentially say fuck you. I personally would rather hear a genuine fuck you than a fake dressed up language that is suspect and confusing. I’ve always said that if you are really well versed in something, you can say it very simply. When you rely on fancy terms to get your message across you don’t actually know the concept as well as you think you do.

Could I use other words and still get the same message across? Sure. Do I feel like this is a step in a direction of altering myself and my art for the preferences of others? Most definitely. This issue of language translation is something I observe constantly and I do believe we are all speaking different languages. My hope is that you can feel my message, my motivation and my fire towards everything I am sharing all with coming from a place of love (which of course embodies dark and light frequencies).
