...And this is what I have given my life over to. This light, this reason, this need to articulate my self in color and form. I cannot imagine myself as anything else. Without this, I would shrivel up and wilt on the vine. Without this ability to create, my world would be nothing but the most desperate shades of grey. It is the only thing I have ever been even remotely great at. At the very least, I am not afraid of it and that is something.
