I’m listening to a mix, headphones on, when I see a creature stalking prey on the left side of the studio.
I look down at Otis.
“Otis, what are you doing?”
“I’m a lion. King of beasts.”
“You’re stalking a microphone cable.”
“You see a cable. I see a snake.”
“It’s still a cable.”
“For now.” Crouching low. “Humans have been connecting snakes with creation for thousands of years.”
Shifting his weight backward, “The Feathered Serpent helped create the world in Mesoamerica and became a patron of arts and crafts. In Aboriginal traditions, Rainbow Serpents shaped the land and carved out rivers.”
“That’s still a microphone cable.”
He shifts his gaze towards me.
“And this was once an empty room. You saw it as a studio before it ever was one.”
He rises from the crouch, sits beside the microphone stand, and begins washing a paw.
“And that song you’re mixing. How many times have you played it?”
“It still isn’t right.”
“Then we’re both stalking something no one else can see.”

What are you still trying to bring into existence that only you can see?
Otis is grateful you visited his realm.
