The suffering of a soul that can suffer greatly -- that and only that, is tragedy.
In order to create, we draw from our inner well. This inner well, an artistic reservoir, is ideally like a well stocked fish pond. . . If we don't give some attention to upkeep, our well is apt to become depleted, stagnant, or blocked. . . As artists, we must learn to be self nourishing. We must become alert enough to consciously replenish our creative resources as we draw on them - to re-stock the trout pond, so to speak.
