As David Bowie said
“If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth”

“I harbour all the same worries as most
The temptations to leave or to give up the ghost.
I wrestle with an outlook on life
That shifts between darkness and shadowy light.
I struggle with words for fear that they’ll hear
But Orpheus sleeps on his back still dead to the world” - David Sylvian -
