I find myself all the time feeling things I can't explain, re-membering things which are hard to describe. And I WANT to share them. I ache for someone to feel what I feel so we can talk about it. I could try and take them there through music, narrative, and/or picture. But it seems to me that even the best combination of these things does not communicate with the integrity and purity of my own feeling.

Good point Em. (Can I call you Em?) I think I know how you feel. Something is inside you and you want to share it, but can't. Behind the greatest work of art is the human masterpiece, the source. There is the pure, unfiltered, understood motivation that might never be perfectly expressed. Our written words, music and art may outlast us, but never can replace us.
