The fresh heartbreak was, in a sense, like being in a foreign country; everything seemed alien, brilliant and glinting. It was as if I’d been flayed, so that even the air hurt. When you’re that unhappy, any glimmer of beauty or consolation feels like running into an old friend abroad, or seeing mountaintops through smog. Maybe we mistakenly think we want “happiness,” which we tend to picture in very vague, soft-focus terms, when what we really crave is the harder-edged intensity of experience.

nooo, i haven't been to NYC in too long!

Art can change the world. But, does the world want to change?

The source of creativity is mysterious and elusive. One who can grasp even a whisp of it can change their world; but, does one want to change?

I started out seeking an intangible; along the way I changed for the better (whatever better is). I discovered a portal-- a rich, rich portal-- to the mystery, where art is in repose. I wrote about things as I experienced them. No one can follow a beaten path to art and the source of it. No one can. One can connect to the portal, though; and through this portal one will discover a great treasure. Don't expect fame or money; genius is not well understood by the kitsch crowd. Money and fame are their gods--not art. Art is sacred space in the soul. Few find this place.

I gave love; you gave me a thistle;
We shared tenderness; then you ran away;
I planted a rose; and you blossomed;
I had fresh hopes; tho' winter froze them solid

aah sophia, you're always questioning things, and that's why we love you.

or is it really why we love you?
