a poet's dayjob/nightmare-a spontaneous manifest

23 August 2024

I believe in the sheer joy of creating.
I believe in the gift of existence.
I believe in the blessing of sensitivity
I believe in the incredible richness of being alive and awake.

art is art and money is money
time is not money and attention is not love
status and money do not equal value
poverty is not virtue
every currency comes with its own price
money for Art is great
life is greater
_{I don’t want anyone to tell me}
_{I’m overqualified}
_{or too old}
_{or underqualified}
_{or not fitting in}
_{too creative or not submissive enough}_{not adaptable not reliable}
_{too much fantasy but not greedy enough}
_{not ambitious enough}
_{not hypocritical enough}

I believe in the sheer joy of creating.
I believe in the gift of existence.
I believe in the blessing of sensitivity
I believe in the incredible richness of being alive and awake.
