When one puts their entire soul into something, people recognise it. They want to help it grow. They want to be around it. They want it to be them.

I'm really happy to be here in Izmir. Things are coming into focus. To be more practical than I have in the past and do more planning, requires that I have steady bases to work from in various countries. I've found that place in Izmir. I have a good friend in Belfast. I have a good friend in Montpellier. I have a few good friends in Berlin and a few in Denmark. I also have good friends in Macedonia. Infact, I've got so many good friends all around Europe and ones I haven't met yet all around the world. Between the countries I can be more certain of my steps and plan for a more stable future. I have to move at least every three months due to visa restrictions. I'm not willing to go into the blackness of not being on the books, I choose to participate in the system on a level. I still want to achieve things within the system and be a catalyst for change within it. Standing as it, and changing myself as it.
I plan to get bands together in various places. I plan to record music and distribute to raise money. I plan to use the money I gain through the music that is surplus to my living expenses to start an international foundation for expressive music, writing, art, dance and performance. I plan to meet people with a similar goal and establish concrete locations in various cities. I plan to, through these centres, establish mobile programs that visit various remote locations and refugee camps and within these locations assign spokespeople from the local people to ensure the progams continue with independent success. So safe, fun and creative expression becomes a part of their every day life.
I see this as an effective way to transform the world.
I have to do this all independently to be able to do it properly and without outside authorities or corporations putting their visual skidmark on every piece of marketing.
As real unconditional assistance comes along, with a shared goal, we will push the ball faster and faster and it will get bigger and bigger.
I'm not interested in a name or claiming glory for an achievement. I see this work as invaluable and necessary for these times. If someone else picks up the idea and does it better, I'm happy to jump on their boat and learn from them. If someone is already doing it, I'll assist them unconditionally. I will take what I need from the world to cater to the basic needs of myself as an individual and I will give in return the tools for change in an evergrowing wellspring of abundance.
Because of my direct experience with music and expression assisting me to declutter my mind from the angers of the past, I see clearly that I am not alone in this experience. I see many opportunities for music and art therapy in social circles around the world where no clear outlet of expression is allowed within their culture. Deviant desires and desire for power become games that people play to reclaim lost control of their childhood years. Presently it can be seen that deep seated angers, repressions and hereditory demons run the world. Let's get them out onto the street, onto the stage. Let's let them into our hearts and hear their stories. Let's set boundaries for them and be honest with each other and ourselves of what's really going on in our secret world inside. Let's forgive and clap and laugh and cry. Let's fill each other with the attention and energy we need to move on as individuals and as humanity. Let's create a powerhouse to transform the world.
In Love,
Monty
