The lyrics of the four songs that are so powerful to me are below in comments . You know what? I'm dyslexic/autism/ADHD/left handed only child never married/ no kids etc and I don't read well and music has always really really been my thing like my way of feeling connected on an emotional and spiritual heart and soul level to that, which is beyond myself and larger than my individual self and tapping into the collective unconscious or whatever you want to call it. and four songs that mean a lot to me are wandering Spirit by Mick Jagger and me by the Sea by Edie Brickell and refugee by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and silent all these years by Tori Amos. Those are four songs that tremendously help me on some psychological, deep psyche, kind of level of music therapy and I know the lyrics to dozens and dozens and dozens of songs. I can't say that I know very many books and have read very many books. But I have listened to music for hours and hours and hours and I memorize song lyrics and it really really helps me. I feel like songs that I love are like my friends like they help me validate myself and regulate myself for sure . And of course I write my own poetry and I've turned several of them into songs with the wonderful Dave flowers that I work with and I'm really grateful for that. But music is really important to me and writing my own poetry as well as listening to other people who write is extremely important to me and I want to start respecting myself on this instead of thinking that I should be like some other kind of person that I'm not. I think it was the musician bjork who said sometimes a song can be a friend to you in a way that another person cannot and since she's a musician I think she understands the importance of songs and art and music and movies stories actors humans expressing etc. Sharing connecting ....

random ideas from shannon kringen artist and art model and actor
i love being interviewed. if anyone reading this has a podcast or website where you interview people ask me and i will say yes! thanks. email me! kringgoddess at yahoo dot com. thanks,
Today with nursing students I played the role of a mother who leaves her healthy twin baby in the room with them when they are caring for the other twin who is ill. I Have played this scene several times....I get nervous and shaky every time like it's real! They have fake hospital room, fake rubber babies with sound effects of a crying baby and vital signs and the whole deal. Have also played the role of being a daughter in the room with a family member passing away...that makes me cry every time. My imagination is strong. I am a paid actor basically. Educational setting. Helping train students. I give feedback at the end also.
After the hunt movie- Stay free as human beings and question everything is my take from this movie. Things are complex. Grey zone nuances. Self deception along with others manipulating each other for power and ego desires and human flaws and fragile traits.
Leave yourself the comments you wish others would. ha ha that's my new strategy. Support yourself. Stop needing others to approve of you.
A career that allows you to use your entire body, mind, heart and soul - acting If I could have any career I wanted, it would definitely be full-time professional actor. I think that that's one of the most fascinating things to do because you really explore what it is to be a human and you shapeshift and you're a chameleon and you try on all different kinds of ways of being as a human. It seems like the most spiritual career you could have and the most emotionally challenging, powerful way of exploring the plasticity and flexibility of who we are as humans and trying to not get stuck in a rut also just seems really creatively fun . I've only dabbled in acting but I wish I had done more. I auditioned and got it to Cornish college of the arts acting conservatory in the early '90s. But then I got scared and dropped out after only 2 weeks . When I auditioned I had to do part of a Sam Shepard play and parts of Shakespeare and then I sang a Tom Petty song acapella and they told me it was really interesting and I had a spark but I held back and I needed to really push myself if I wanted to really be an actor and then they accepted me into the program . I want to see that new movie Bugonia and I think I found another theater who has a discount on Tuesdays $6. I might try that. I can afford to buy myself a real price movie ticket, but why pay more if I don't have to? That's how I see it. Even if I was a millionaire, I would be one of those annoying millionaires that still wanted a good deal!
Insight of the day- my defense mechanisms help me survive as an indie 57 year old woman who is strong and fully supports herself but the same self defense mechanisms help me miss out in other ways with my personal life (not letting my guard time much at all- hardly ever relaxing or enjoying myself for the fun of being alive and less energy and time to make my art) spreading myself thin. My priority is basic survival. I could if I had the guts take more risks in life. I tend to play it safe. Not sure I come across this way to others but I know my weakness and can feel my potential is much greater than my current life reflects. Expressing myself from within trying to let go of needing external validation and just speak my truth and cultivate more inner strength and play with what I can manifest externally. Good luck to anyone reading this. I'm working a lot so keeping very busy 7 days a week. Very aware of how I abandon myself on some levels and yet I take care of myself well on other levels.
