Can't get to the couple digital pieces I've done currently but tried out oil pastels for the first time in like eight years.

I've been trying to get back into traditional styles given the obvious.

Textured paper maybe wasn't a great idea, it was a bit of a struggle to do her skin properly but I made it so.

Motivational Rituals in the Morning ... The Movement feat. Chali 2na, Break in the Glass (Audio) ... from the Album: Ways of the World (2019)

#MMitM1

What the Song is About: “Break in the Glass” is a call to clarity, resilience, and awakening in the face of a corrupt, distracted world. The opening sets the tension: the singer wants to chase destiny and live simply — fire by the sea, feet in the sand — but the world keeps pulling him off course through “snakes of society.” The chorus plants its flag: under the sun our light will outlast / no time for waiting, life moves so fast / change the opposition, it shall come to pass / a break in the glass. The central image is powerful and layered. A “break in the glass” can mean several things simultaneously: a crack that lets light through where there was only reflection, a moment of clarity that shatters illusion, a breakthrough past the barrier between where you are and where you need to be. It is simultaneously destruction and revelation. Chali 2na’s verse deepens the social critique: “they want us to embrace the superficial / make the masses feel special / while this empire they run it corruptly / some do it for the income but we do it for the outcome.” Then the most striking line: “upgrade your faith just to match your vision / and your decisions will have risen from their natural prison / and if you listen you can hear every snake in the grass / and you can see them through the break in the glass.” Elevated faith produces elevated perception — and that perception exposes the corruption that was always there. The Bandcamp page features an embedded philosophical quote: “The present moment is infinitely small; before we can measure it, it has gone, and yet it exists forever… You may believe yourself out of harmony with life and its eternal Now; but you cannot be, for you are life and exist Now.” This grounds the song’s urgency in a deeper spiritual framework — the present moment as the only place where change is possible.

——————— Theological Viewpoint ———————

— “Gaia to Just Leave Me Alone and Allow Me to Be Me”: The invocation of Gaia — the Greek earth goddess, the living planet as conscious being — places the song in an animist/spiritual ecology framework. This is not the God of institutional religion but the sacred ground beneath everything, the web of life that is constantly being disrupted by human exploitation and distraction. The speaker wants to be in right relationship with Gaia — to live simply and authentically — but systemic forces keep pulling him away. This is the theological tension between right relationship with creation (a theme across Indigenous spirituality, Celtic Christianity, and creation theology) and the demands of empire.

— “Snakes of Society” and the Serpent Motif: The serpent as symbol of deception, corruption, and systemic evil is one of the oldest theological images in human civilization — appearing in Genesis, the Egyptian Apep, Hindu Naga mythology, and Indigenous traditions. Chali 2na’s line — “if you listen you can hear every snake in the grass” — gives the symbol a social-prophetic dimension: the serpents aren’t supernatural, they are the architects of corrupt empire who exploit human distraction and superficiality to maintain power. Discernment — the theological capacity to distinguish truth from deception — is what the break in the glass provides.

— “A Break in the Glass” as Apocalypse: The Greek word apokalypsis literally means unveiling or uncovering — the removal of what conceals truth. A break in the glass is exactly this: not destruction for its own sake but the shattering of the reflective surface that prevents seeing through to what is real. The Book of Revelation’s apocalyptic imagery functions this way — not as prediction of catastrophe but as a tearing away of imperial propaganda to reveal the machinery of oppression underneath. “Break in the Glass” is apocalyptic music in the original, proper sense of the word.

— “Upgrade Your Faith Just to Match Your Vision”: This is theologically remarkable. Chali 2na is not saying have more faith in the generic sense — he is saying that your capacity to see (vision) must be met with a corresponding capacity to act and trust (faith). In Hebrews 11, faith is defined as the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen — it is the inner faculty that allows one to perceive and act on what is not yet visible to others. Chali 2na is saying exactly this: your vision has outgrown your faith. Expand the faith to match the sight.

— “We Do It for the Outcome, Not the Income”: In liberation theology, this is the distinction between ministry as service and ministry as career — between those who enter the work of justice because they are called and those who enter it for personal gain. The Prophets condemned the latter repeatedly — shepherds who fleece the flock, priests who trade truth for comfort. The Movement and Chali 2na are positioning themselves explicitly in the tradition of those who do the work regardless of the cost, because the outcome — justice, liberation, clarity — is the only thing worth working toward.

— The Reggae Tradition as Prophetic Lineage: This cannot be separated from the song’s theology. Reggae music — rooted in Rastafarianism, Nyahbinghi drumming, and the spiritual legacy of the African diaspora — has always been explicitly prophetic music. From Burning Spear to Bob Marley to Sizzla, the genre carries a theology of Babylon (corrupt empire) versus Zion (right relationship, justice, liberation). The Movement, as reggae artists, are inheriting this tradition when they sing about snakes of empire, the light that outlasts, and the break that allows truth to be seen. “Break in the Glass” is a song that knows exactly what tradition it stands in.
