DOING IT FOR LOVE

Yes, we do it out of love. The love that comes from the depths that speaks without the need for reason. It is pure and directs the drive and act of making art. It would be great self-denial for me to ignore my inclination to create, inspired as it is from the heart of hearts. I have had termites to overcome in weaker days, but I knew I couldn't let them win. It comes down to the old line, "Forgive them for they know not what they do." I am finally at peace with my differences from significant people who would have distracted me if I were not aware of the core of my being. No one to blame, it is all a process of life.
To speak of being "the keeper's of our brothers and sisters" is a reality, if not from the work we create then surely from the example of being true to our passions and deepest sense of self. There we experience bliss and peace, so important in these times of mass fear and confusion.
