We were advised that nobody could stop us from pursuing our craft simply because we had honed, or even developed that craft while working at a company.

The Craft Of Life
I tried to study it for just a while:
All of the potions, from oysters to seducing smiles.
But I've found it's already inside me:
A big round bubble of sensuality,
Dared to be burst,
But worried about getting hurt.
I know how you like to kiss.
I'll ask you what you're thinking.
Silvers in our dark hair.
The sheets are soaked by your tiny fish.
The craft of life,
The craft of life,
The craft of life,
The craft of life,
Oo-ooh...
Tears spring to mind when I go back in time.
All those lost bodies just seeking security.
Jittering strangers with smutting hands,
Heavy and clever and full of demands.
Well I'm similar to you:
We're familiar with what to do.
I know how you like to kiss.
I'll ask you what you're thinking.
Silvers in our dark hair.
The sheets are soaked by your tiny fish.
The craft of life,
The craft of life,
The craft of life,
The craft of life,
Oo-ooh...

It's About The Craft
It's about the craft.
And a consistency applied,
To prefect its presentation...
One who has no hesitation,
To sacrifice time.
Without a seeking for devices,
That provides an easy ride.
It's about the craft!
And those who are up to the task,
Need not to answer when asked...
What for them is thirsted first.
It's about the craft,
That has such a holding grasp...
No one can loosen to have it released.
'That's deep!
But what is it that has a hold on someone,
One knows and prefers to keep? '
A love for what it is,
One does.
With a seeking to reach greater heights.
'Wouldn't it be easier if you lowered your expectations? '
Who's craft is this?
You do...
As 'you' wish!

My advice to an aspiring actor would be to never stop learning or working for what you want. Nothing comes easy, ever, if you want something, you have to work for it. By working for it I mean work on your craft, learn from people who have something to teach. It's just like anything else, practice makes perfect.

You cannot limit yourself to one area of specialized craft. Instead, regardless of craft, you have to charge all forms of expression that lead to the community, to other people, with meaning.

for mifael and company Inc.
they read your poems
and all are unanimous
in giving the thumbs up
sign telling you that you
know when to go and
stop and sing and leave
their mouths gaping but
i tell you mifael and the
rest of those who are not
so popular here, you are
not good in your craft
simply because mifael
and the rest of those who
are not popular here you
are one of those who write
too carefully from the heart
and knows too well what
strings to strum what drums
to beat what piano keys to
press what chords to strike
that bleed hearts and make
them jump with joy again
mifael and company and
all those who are not popular
here, you are, to me not good,
simply because like candice
the evanescent, you're, those
categorized by this another
unpopular one, as the best of
the best that this site can
show and be proud of
pehaps not never but forever..

Mastered
If it is not a craft you are going to master,
Much unlike a hobby done for sport!
Or something like a doodle done?
You ought not make attempts,
To discuss your relationship with it!
Since it is not embraced in your heart at all!
It is something you believe attracts attention.
Not the skill performed and nourishing the soul.
An ego gets tired and old with time.
However...
A craft that has been mastered,
Is in constant practice.
It rehearses when one should sleep.
And teases itself to keep...
The signature of God upon it!
Proud it speaks with such uniqueness.
Free of pretensions to pass,
Whenever asked of origin.
It simply is as it wishes to be exposed.
And revealed the way it is and admired!

Well, the odds must be against anybody being able to fly around the world in a balloon on the first attempt. All of us who are attempting to go around the world in balloons are effectively flying in experimental craft because these craft cannot be tested.

I thought we would have at most an audience of 5,000 devotees because I made the decision to stick to craft, not to gossip, not to be interested in any of the juicy stuff that they talk about on other shows, but stick to the question of craft.

You need to study and work on your craft. If you're not prepared when that dream audition comes, you are not going to get that opportunity. To me, the definition of success is when opportunity meets preparation. So I really recommend that actors always work on their craft and their skills.

So, I lived at the Beijing Opera, I ate there, I learned a craft. And the money we made went into the company.
Plagiaristic Dream
If I did not respect the craft itself,
My approach would be less fresh.
I do not understand,
The mindset of vulture.
One who picks over...
Those of fame to make a name.
Or make aims to infuse,
An excuse for originality.
If I did not respect the craft itself,
My approach would be less fresh.
And the art of poetry...
Would be a plagiaristic dream.
Discovered today by many,
With that mindset it seems.
'Anything to advance,
A jackass believed to be enhanced! '
~And I thought we were talking about vultures? ~
Pay attention!
Again!
...If I did not respect the craft itself,
My approach would be less fresh.
I do not understand,
The mindset of vulture...

When the major studios flourished many years ago, an actor was groomed, developed, and worked frequently at his craft. The studios really took care of their actors.

One's Self
It is a craft,
And like a pastime;
Resources,
Expressing yourself,
With your style,
With your mark,
With your act,
With your muse,
With your art,
And like the spur of the moment.
It is a craft,
it is your muse,
And like a pastime;
With your handprints and your footprints!
But, this pastime is like one's self.

A Journey Of Honing Words And Wasps...
i hone myself, and i honing i am honed,
like a drone like one drowning drone who wants to master the art of
drinking water, he must have to drown himself first
or even die,
but that will not be the end of it,
dying does not end,
it gives you a start, an upstart of what lies ahead
perhaps
a new beginning, but let us pretend that we do not die
we just hone and keep honing until the honing is perfected
until we become nothing but honers of this craft of living life
like
crazy drones that drown themselves in the water to drink the
whole ocean of thirst and hunger
do not think that i want you to feel what death is and make you
understand about it,
i am just talking and keep on talking to myself because
i want to hone myself into dying, because dying does not actually die itself but simply keeps on dying
until it gets perfected.
and how is it to be perfect? continue talking, i am tired and
i am still as broken as you are.
do you see wasps in the air?

The Hovercraft
In the distance, I spy its misty spray,
As it hovers over a sea of battleship grey.
Across The Solent, the hovercraft soars,
And I stand there watching it in total awe.
On the shingle shore, there gathers a crowd,
To welcome the hovercraft, with engines loud.
A sense of excitement fills the salty air;
At the approaching craft, I stand and stare.
As it reaches Southsea - its final destination,
The gathered crowd are full of fascination.
I've seen the hovercraft many times before,
But it seems to possess a magnetic draw.
Having left the sea full of salt,
Upon dry land, it draws to a halt.
The skirt of the craft soon deflates:
The air is expelled at a rapid rate.
Their short journey over, its passengers leave,
But the pilot has hardly any time to breathe.
Of passengers, there is a very quick turnaround,
And soon, once again, the craft is island bound.

To Shine Bright On Centerstage Isn't That Simple
People believe it takes just a wish,
To stand on stage with a getting of spotlight.
And soon discover,
One has to earn that right to be considered serious.
And then befriend the ones behind the scenes,
Who control any images they wish to expose as given.
Anyone throwing up their nose,
Telling all within listening distance what they can do...
Are surprised how fast they are shown exits.
To get to shine bright on centerstage isn't that simple.
Especially if one ignores working on their craft.
Even if a working on it may not qualify to get near a stage.
