The “Artist” is timeless and would like to move about freely — but for the effects of modern world, which is always changing, all intent on crushing what is creative —
Yet there is so much in me that suppresses and belittles, it is world turned inside and that is the horror —
This is what we struggle against every day in our practice to be free — and yet, the strength, the fortitude and vision is already in us, in the form of a single soul — and what beauty it can bear —
From the emptying there comes a better way, which need not demean, compare, or count the value in numbers or time —
Amen —
