STRONGER.

STRONGER
your endurance can last longer

Shower others
with your power
don’t hide and cower
always count your hours
you know the truth of life
just shout it louder.

Be stronger when the world seems cruel
in your heart you have a emerald jewel
that you are waiting to share with others
with your nephews and cousins
give that shit away — it don’t cost you nothin’

The more you give,
the more you will receive
keep making art
and bleed
onto the page
or the digital sensor

Before you share your work
you might feel tense or
scared
but don’t be afraid
to brave
to share your unique perspective
make your 90 year old self proud
your post-mortem retrospective.

When in doubt
drink more espresso
and put the pedal to the metal
go 200 miles per hour on the autobahn
in the blacked-out LAMBO
keep firing creative shots
Sylvester Stallone— RAMBO.

Always stay humble
but don’t be afraid to rumble in the jungle
with the ghosts of your past
live everyday like it were your last
and make work that will last
into the past and the present
always stay present
with your loved ones
put away the guns
and love instead
appreciate your loved ones
because one day— they will die
eyes bloodshot red.

Be strong now and forever
and live lightly everyday — walking on feathers.

Always,
Eric
