unlocking genius.

excerpted from my new moleskin:
blake smith says that he believes everyone is a genius.

i think he's on to something.

inside EVERY person are ideas, longings, plans. . .
creativity, factual data. . .
the ABILITY to solve the world's problems, inspire, create, SHARE their genius.

how do i unlock the genius in me?
how do i unlock the genius in others?

everyone needs to know this!

i want this genius to be revealed. . . uncovered. . . FOUND!

(so my world has been rocked for a week or more milling this idea over & over in my head. i don't have the answers. i mean, i might have a few keys to the unlocking. but i feel the first freedom was found simply in pondering this idea. and now the test. . . let's all walk in to our creative destinies! genius, i say! YOU'RE A GENIUS!)

"Genius: natural ability or capacity; strong inclination. distinctive character or spirit. the guardian spirit of a place, institution, etc."

i think the secret of unlocking one's genius lies in discovering one's passion. God predestined us for something great and gave us the gifts and passions for it... but unfortunately our culture has probably stolen them away or caused us to hide them away so nobody, including ourselves, would ever uncover them and bring "shame" upon us.

we really need to find the thing God put in us and turn away from the crap our culture tells us we have to replace it with.

i love ya sis.
