The quest to hoard and store power is limited…Unless you seek to merge with that which is the source of all power itself.

Hustling my writing is part of the fun.  It is the arrogant writer who believes that readers should come to him/her, and the creative artist who believes they should make an art of everything.  That includes advertising, or the act of reaching out to the audience.

Every joy/hate/boon/inconvenience should be mined for the sake of your art/work.  Some people express this as “Om Mani Padme Hum,”:  The divine is in everything.  I like how Musashi said it better, because he emphasized knowledge and perception:  “If you know the way broadly, you will see it in all things.”

Creativity has a molten core of infinite possibilities.  The artist must extract iron from it and arrange it into solid structures so others may appreciate it.  And that’s where it’s tricky:  Being fluid enough to enter that core and garner that molten inspiration while being structured enough to make solid iterations of it.
