Amateur Adventurer by Decaying Matters
Another seven year cycle turns...
The sword of resonance is reforged in the sacred spring waters of the mountains...
Adventure calls out across the infinite nothingness,
And there are those that listen for its whisper upon the winds of time...
Come and get it! Step right up!
Uncle Chut's Finest Sonic Compost!
Two hundred and twenty two percent pure
Decaying matters
Stirred by hand
In the heart, mind and soul
Cures all kinds of creative malaise
Including:
"im not good enough" Syndrome
NAWWAL Disorder
Robin Victim Hood
Pain Is An Illusion
Story Stuckness Experience
Futurelessness
Past Vortex Addiction
And many more!
After traveling the globe and the early reaches of universal conciousness, Ive returned for respite and healing before setting out on my sixth cycle into the created future. As patterns that no longer serve me are completed and those that do are carried forward, I continue to discover that these decaying matters of conciousness need not be simply thrown out, rather they are part of the beauty of new ideas, understandings and freedoms yet to be fully expressed through sound.
Though I have been part of foolish tasks and spoken careless words into the void, I ask not for forgiveness, nor do I beg for my life, for it is not my own. Instead I would entreat all to discover the wonderous depths of love revealed in the process of creativity. It is there that life becomes a truly artistic endeavor and all the meanings and stories we think we are disolve in the infinite present way of being continuously created however we want right now.
Nothing is impossible. Everything is always. No one knows what will happen. And though we think we know who someone is, may we look newly at everyone everyday and discover who they authentically want to be so that we are related to their journey and our collective future.
Remember, decaying matters.
Endless thanks to all who have lived so that I in turn have this awesome being of aliveness to carry forward for all who come after!
May those who love you, miss you and remember you!

Decay Matters is committed to transmuting the rotting shit of life into creative gold through authentic attending to the process, art and pain of being alive. Much like compost, this produces fertile soil for continued growth and delicious fruits, through our shared labor of love, that is the joy of conciousness.
To clarify, I am full of rotting shit and soul composting is infinite permaculture.
