Secrets 13: Get Back
I sat through the Beatles’ Get Back and knew that all I have to do is put myself in the light and let the infinite use me to create.
What do you hear when someone asks, “Why create?”
The voice inside you may be your thoughts or it may be the infinite playing a song, showing you a drawing, giving you movement, writing a story.

welcome to 2022 season. There wasn't a 2021 season.
This is getting back to creating. If you want to stand out. Don't be different. B. Outstanding. By Meredith west.
I immediately felt better just thinking about that quote. And I'll tell you how I. I have, interpreted. It's the difference between having to. React. Being different. So if I have to be different, kind of imposes the idea that I have to find what's similar out there and then be the opposite.
Being outstanding is more about just being me. And looking at my life and creating in my life from how I. want to be. I don't have to dive too deep into creating my brand of me. I just have to get back to being me. There's something, about this perspective about living my life. And using the show to come back to it.
A place to create a place where I belong. Because I get to create it. I get to be. In it. The intention of the song, get back by the Beatles is the inspiration for the show. It's it's hard because I, if you follow along with me in this description of, how the song originated was from a newspaper article, it was an headline. highlighting racism and racial tension in the world.
And. The title was get back to the land where you came from, like get, get, going, get, like, get out of our place. And. Like who are, who are they? So. Okay. So not exactly a direct quote from. the newspaper, but the I'm kind of, um, putting my own spin on this. So. I just think it's kind of ironic.
Get go back. We, we all started. From somewhere. And we all came to. a piece of land. Does it really belong to us? So. I asked myself. Do I belong in this space? In this creative zone, this. Secret way of being, it was hidden in my subconscious, my consciousness. I, I didn't allow it. I pushed it down for so long.
And I find that this show is about my space, where I can belong. And that's what the space is about, about creating, being an artist. And I think that we're all works of art and I really believe that. This art. Uh, however you want to express your art in the world is how, we can make change. If we can assess what really belongs.
I remember coming out of the nineties, thinking. That everything had to be so. Uh, labeled a strict and defined and clear. And this was how I was raised in this funnel of you had to be clearly defined in order to be safe and to be understood. And you had to have a value based on that label. And now
the world has flipped. And this is kind of me embracing that flip and coming back and finding those edges. So that's why my, my self. Uh, my generation we're we're in this fog of, well, we bought what the boomers were selling us. And we see what the millennials are showing us. And what's possible. So there's this bridge.
Of. creative beauty, that space that, Anyway. It's a beautiful space and here I am, and I'm going to just get right to the point. I am coming back to my acting roots. I succumb to being myself in 2020. It was. Uh, the benefit of being, um, in this pandemic. Uh, of course there's. You know, the old proverb who knows what's good or bad.
It's really? What, what is. So. I realized I loved connecting with people and creating. And I love all the emotions and nuances that I've. I can find in my life and by watching humans and by engaging with other people, So it reminds me of the part that I wanted to share with you. because The road there isn't necessarily paved, with smooth transitions. Although fun. so a quote is just because you're good at something doesn't mean you have to do it is something that I certainly have lived. I have taken the road less, traveled the road, less known the road, less, paved the road with lots of twists and turns. And I consider myself.
A, very lucky. person to live. A beautiful life so far. And that's including all the dark corners in the edges and the bumps. Because with it, I have. Persevered. I have. Adapted I have become. More human. And I think this is what I long to do.
And I believe this is what I am here to do. To be. Here to entertain. So, how do I get from not knowing how to do something to becoming outstanding? No pressure. Because who's going to watch, if you're not interesting or outstanding.
Or listen. Well, it's called rinse and repeat. I have to begin somewhere. Outstanding. I realize isn't a description of me or you. It's a description of where I put my time and attention. This is where you will put your time and your attention. And to creating.
Whatever it is that you love. So I've taken the time to step out and curate my life and talk about it here. And I want to have conversations with people, creative people and finding nuggets of their genius in their lives. I'm going to use my intuition and my listening skills that I've curated over the last decade.
To really find, something that you can take away and then it will inspire you. Maybe I'll be talking to you one day. What would it be worth to get back to?.
So listening to people give voice to their life. makes my dream to inspire you. Come to life. All this show is intended to do is spark something great in you? I hope I can awaken. A bit more of that part for you. And maybe I don't. And then to me, that's just a way of affirming. That your life is.
📍 Good and that you don't need to change. because what you bring is already awesome. And then I know that I did my job.
