We are all monsters
As such, we believe we require more.
more energy, more time, more space, more light.
As we strive, we are relentless,
As we eat, we are ravenous.
Our movements may seem erratic, hard to grasp.
Our stride may be unconventional, hard to follow.
Our inevitable moments of repulsive ugliness or excessive brilliance
may, at times, make us difficult to look at.
But we are committed to the profoundly timeless beauty of our own transformation.
we do not expect anything from anyone.
Yet we ask for what we want
and demand what we need.
And though we will not apologize,
We will ALWAYS demonstrate our deepest gratitude,
for those who sacrifice their energy and invest their time.
Our journey will be fueled by our passion for greatness-
an enduring passion for self discovery, traversing the brutal and grotesque.
And those that we keep closest, will one day learn to understand:
Though we may hold hands in solidarity,
our eyes are free to explore, they are not transfixed.
And with our multidimensional gaze,
we observe both the world around us,
and the precious drops of oil in our own gilded silver spoons.
And when we lose our light,
and our fire seems to dwindle,
even in the darkest hour,
we will behold the truly sublime.
Overwhelmed by awe or fear,
we will gently ask ourselves...
What is more violent than the birth of a star?
And still, what is more brilliant? more beautiful?
So in dedicating our lives to this highest pursuit,
there are things we must know and remember:
The power of our own transmutation lies in understanding the baseness of our own elements.
Our commitment to our own evolution is the ultimate expression of love.
Most of all, above all else, if there is one truth that binds those elements,
if there is one truth that binds us all,
it is that love always transcends.
We are all millenial monsters.
You inspired one, or you birthed one, you are one, or one birthed you.
All monsters are welcome to join us at the table.
Now is our last supper.
Bon appetite…Let’s Eat.
