The Chaos Chronicles, Vol.1
Hello is it me you're looking for...
If you are reading this thank you for joining me on this adventure.
I thought for our first transmission of the chaos chronicles, I would do a brief introduction to who I am and what this is. Sound good? Good. Let’s go!
I am The Sean English, Coach, Consultant, Creative, and last but not least The Original Chaos Cowboy!! Hence The Chaos Chronicles.
I am a world traveler. I have had the fortune of visiting or living in 6 continents, truth be told I am still confused about the whole Oceana thing. I have been to 17 countries, and am already making plans to visit more!
I am an artist. I create music with my band They Are Dancer and do solo work under my name The Sean English, yes the “The” is very important. In addition to music, I also draw and paint, which is now leading me down the path of tattooing! More on that in the future.
When I am not traveling, making, music, doodling, or, like, whatever it is I do…I am trying to take care of myself by doing Muay Thai, and now free diving.
I love reading and recently found I love to write… see I’m writing.
Ok, enough about me. Let’s get to what I am sure you really want to know.
What the heck is a Chaos Cowboy?
So, the best way to explain what a Chaos Cowboy is, is to zoom out and break down the idea.
Chaos - I mean what can we not say about chaos? It is everywhere. It is constant. It is a wild ol’ time. Being an earthling, it is a truly unavoidable reality. Chaos is also, depending on what you believe, the root of our existence. We were born from the Big Bang, evolution in itself is just a chaotic mess of us adapting to chaotic environments and situations, in turn birthing more chaos into the world. Just WTF my dood. I digress.
Cowboy - This might be a bit more personal to my interpretation but I always pictured cowboys as quiet unexpected heroes who rose to the occasion to come out victorious. They would come into a small town saloon not wanting any trouble… only to find lots of trouble, and in the end, save the day. Roll credits. I know this is not historically accurate by any means, but that romantic interpretation is what I like to imagine when I think about this concept. I think it is worth noting that “cowboy” in this world of mind has no gender, no race, and no limitations, it just requires you to be you.
So let’s combine the two: Chaos Cowboy(s).
The image that pops into my head is this…Have you ever seen professional Bronc Riding? It’s an awful sport, I do not condone, or support it, but it is a great visual for what I see in my mind. (TW: Animal cruelty, physical harm)
If you didn’t watch, all good, allow me to share the visual in words. You are a human. You are on a large animal that frankly does not want you there. It bucks, rolls, and moves in any way it can to get you off its body. You, me, all of us we are the cowboys. Now chaos isn’t 100% a Bronco, but it sure does feel that way.
The reason I like this visual is for a few reasons.
When I was a kid, I thought I wanted to be a cowboy so we are healing some inner child stuff. Just go with it.
It really does feel like when chaos enters our lives, we are being whipped around by a Bronco. The world spins, our hat flies off, everything that we prepped for goes out the window and we hold on for dear life.
I like horses. What I like the most about them is that we can have relationships with them, even to the point where they will let us ride them. We turn a Bronco into an ally, a partner, a friend. I like that idea. We can shift our chaos from busking Bronco to our trusted steed that will take us riding out into the sunset.
In a nutshell that is the idea of Chaos Cowboy. To become the type of person who can learn to ride the chaos and turn it into a tool, a lesson, a friend that helps guide us in life.
Wow, that was a lot of who! Let's get to what this is.
The Chaos Chronicles will be a place where I share my thoughts and ideas on the world, personal growth, healing, and updates on my work. There may even be some exercises and tools that I have used to cultivate a more full and purposeful life. All the things that help one become a Chaos Cowboy.
Hot damn y’all that is a long first transmission. Thank you for being here.
For those who would like to explore working with me feel free to book a call with me via the “Book” button.
Last but not least if you want to share your thoughts and feels with me. I am all ears.
The next transmission is being cooked up as you read. Looking forward to sharing more with y’all.
Keep on riding,
The Sean English
