For seven full years, I followed the same mentor. She had a change of direction, distancing herself from the work she created when I followed her. Yet if anything my connection to that same work has grown even stronger over time.

It reminds me of my fondness for romantic relationships where there is a borderline insurmountable distance between us.
I have been a fan from male idols since I was a teen. But in my case, this was not a phase but an early sign of my preferred relationship style;
Distance will be mandatory.

And it can be the only element, meaning “we” can have only the distance and not the relationship, as was obviously the case with Jon Bongiovi and Axl Rose, who were my teen idols.
My love blooms in the space between us.

So when the mentor created this distance, the space she left behind excited me.
This was now mine to fill.

It’s been “years” without her *) -quotation marks since she never left my thoughts and I kept studying her work – but it is not until now that I start to see the logic, the brilliance, the deceptively simple principles that were the rock solid foundation under her work.

A set of them, although she never said any of these out loud, would be;

If “it” cannot be NOW?
If at least some action cannot be done immediately?
And if it is not something that you will ingrain and carve into your everyday reality, to be with you until the end of your days?

Then don’t do it.

In all likeliness, your life currently consists of two things:
1. The things you wanna do every day.
AND
2. The things you resent doing;
Postpone;
And then an endless list of shoulds, wants and dreams.

Only one of those two things is your purpose.
And it’s not the second.

*) I would like to give you the name of the mentor.
This posted was written weeks ago, and I have since started studying her newer work as well, and was so warmly welcomed by her personally.
You can find her on Instagram under @katrinaruth_ which is her new account.

ABOUT THE LOST POST SERIES

I have been consistently posting “What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today” for a while now.
Starting June 2023, they found their final form as blogposts here on the Catacombe blog, pretty quickly.

But I’ve always been aware there were singular posts/ borderline poetry, still on social media, floating somewhere down my timeline.

Some at the beginning when I did not know what this series would be.
Some around the time in October/November 2023, when I lost access to this site.
And then a few in between.

And in addition to that there are the ones I did post on the blog, but whose stories revolve around things I no longer offer.
I will retrieve those too;
And give them a new story, that has the timeless quality they deserve.
