Opus Day 32: Trust the power beyond your control
"Duende allows you to do your life work with a passion and brilliance that surpasses human skill. It is deep inspiration, and it applies to all kinds of work, not just to that of artists and athletes. In them we behold the magic of which we are capable in our own lives and professions.
Duende is the ability to put your life on the line for what you do and to do it without regard for the approval of polite society. You do it because you are compelled and filled with desire and willing to risk. You take chances and flirt with failure and risk going out into the world as an individual possessed with outrageous passion.
[Federico Garcia] Lorca talks about the creative passion of duende being close to death. I take that to mean not just literal death but the death of your plans, your familiar identity, and your control. You let go, free-fall into the unknown, and allow something powerful to happen. How else can you obtain the power that is not in your full control?"
Today’s Work: Acknowledge the risks that face you while you explore your life work. Let go of control and be open to internal forces.
