Lifetime Quote

" Our hearts have always longed to love,
but never have been free of fear."
So we have always put aside
our natural compassion
and bowed before productivity,
and security
and safety." - William Martin

Shaper

Writing is a consternation of individual links looking to hook into a larger chain link. Ideas create themselves and then look for the masseuse to work out the knots and kinks. The artist massages them until they become something pliable and form able. What the artist seems to enjoy most is process, while an audience much prefers the "product." It is in process where artists feel most united, to focus and shape the end product to represent and express symbolism and constraints that fueled its creation in the first place. This circle called process, the giving of life to the product, is where I feel most useful, abundant and glorified and united as a writer|artist. I think if it as my private place in this greater chain link of life called the ever-evolving artist-self.
