I mean - real pain and sadness. Not the kind that you see on TV or feel vicariously in a well done film, but the real kind - the kind you cannot fake feeling - the kind that sinks in and demands payment.<br /><br />One of my own quirks - although it may not just be me - but when I am feeling deeply, often when it is sadness - it is often then I have the greatest desire to write. The muse does seem to respond more with my melancholy - so it would seem - at least for me - provides motive and strength that seems to refuse to show itself in no other way. A strange human paradox.<br /><br />I think the heart of good art - quality - is that personal manifesto - that unique imprint you provide with whatever creative media you provide - revealing what is within - that comes via the creative Daemon - that is you but not you - yet another paradox.<br /><br />I admire you for the journey you are taking -and your willingness to be human.jamentahttp://jamenta.freehostia.com/noreply@blogger.com
