There is something that I must surrender and release. My surprise at hearing others finding enjoyment and interest in my original mythological writing. I've been at it so long and yet only recently learned how to manage it (my talent) instead of it managing me. This is the reason that I find it amazing that others see what I intended to be seen.
There comes a point when the new become the everyday. When the far fetched become a reality. And it is at that time when the judgment of one's sober expectations can be measured. The trickster god can work both ways, I'm discovering. This means that I can be looking at a gold mine and because I don't see all the sparkles yet, I declare my find a bust and miss. But when you work with the Trickster god, the god will laugh at you then point out what it is that you are missing. The thing is in today's society people are ready to share their creative impulse, their newborn baby, before its immune system is ready for an attack- because attack you will receive. I know because I have been at the other end of the spectrum, which caused me to polish and polish, protect and reject, more than the average. I work not for perfection but for acceptance and man it takes a lot to be an artist whose message is received. The alchemy seems to never stop. It took a lot of work but finally, I'm getting positive feedback. That mean the piece of advice I received over 20 years ago: Live some, write some, and vice versa, is like a second skin for me now. There is understanding of how important it is for someone to do good work no matter what their work is. I was raised to do my best. That's what count, in the eyes of Man, in the eye of the Universe, and in the mind of the Greatest Mind/God. If I, no, since I produce powerful work, I have to keep the curiosity of a novice but carry that passion of a professional. Then I will be able to become the Master Artisan I dream of being. For now, I release the mentality that I have something to prove because I've proved it already. To myself and to the local community. Now it's about putting on bows and ribbons then releasing my art baby to the world. With nothing but the wish that all will receive what they need from me through my presentation of learning. I have learned recently that I may not be my brother's keeper, but I am my brother's sibling. And that is why I write. To communicate and make art. Mythological art. Thanks for listening!
