Oh, but sister, you know I’m so weary
And you know sister, my heart’s been broken
Sometimes, sometimes my mind is too strong
To carry on.
Home
Alexi MurdochThink you’re escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.
James Joyce in Ulysses
Song: “Home” by Alexi Murdoch
Listen
Alexi MurdochSomething Beautiful, Alexi Murdoch
May you find the strength to know that you are a
Part of something beautiful…
It's Only Fear
Alexi MurdochYou must not fear, hold back, count or be a miser with your thoughts and feelings. It is also true that creation comes from an overflow, so you have to learn to intake, to imbibe, to nourish yourself and not be afraid of fullness. The fullness is like a tidal wave which then carries you, sweeps you into experience and into writing. Permit yourself to flow and overflow, allow for the rise in temperature, all the expansions and intensifications. Something is always born of excess: great art was born of great terrors, great loneliness, great inhibitions, instabilities, and it always balances them.
Anaïs Nin in The Diary of Anais Nin, Vol. 4: 1944-1947

All My Days
Alexi MurdochAll My Days- Alexi Murdoch
Slow Revolution
Alexi MurdochTrue heroism is minutes, hours, weeks, year upon year of the quiet, precise, judicious exercise of probity and care — with no one there to see or cheer. This is the world.
David Foster Wallace in The Pale King
Song: “Slow Revolution” by Alexi Murdoch
All My Days
Alexi MurdochWell I have been quietly standing in the shade
All of my daysAnd I’ve been trying to find
What’s been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night

All My Days
Alexi MurdochNow I see clearly
It’s you I’m looking for

All of my days
Song For You

Cause I want to love you with my heart
All this trying has made me tight
And I dont know even where to start
Maybe that’s a start
