Sometimes I think of the people, the quiet ones who write, draw and create.

Comfortable in their favorite places, with their tools, with their minds pouring, their hearts open.

I know that space and that feeling so well. I am a quiet one too.

I wonder, is that space, the creative heart and mind, is it shareable? Or is that where we stay, alone, because there's no way to be truthfully perceived?

Should our creativity be our secret?

I don't know. But what I know is that whenever have I shared my innermost intimate creations, none truly sees . People see my art, but not that subtle pieces, the weird and real ones, people like more the edited, the refined, not in the sense of technique, but in intention

@Boeing There is a touch of artistic fear in me. When you posted the painting you recently did and asked what people thought of it, I wanted to respond so badly, but I was afraid. I saw the stain of the bad energy. But it is all to be perceived, do we want that?

Most people just care if it's "good", I don't. I often wish for more, art as healing. To talk to the artist. I imagine the days long ago when artists and poets would share a drink and discuss...

I am too idealistic lol
