This pic is how I feel sometimes because I have an idea that few understand at this time. Whether I am correct or not, I feel a passion to work it out and let the idea speak for itself like a work of art. For any artist cannot control the reception of their art. If they do, their passion has been eclipsed by something contrary to what makes their work valuable. 

So to speak out, be put on display and open to be judged about a new idea is scary indeed. I feel alone, battered and could be overwhelmed if my foundation is weak.

There are those nowadays who are speaking out in violence, in rejection and judgement. They act like they are above the law, can judge others and punish them in violence or even death. Yet these very same judges refuse to be judged by their actions quoting some overriding reason that somehow justifies their oppression or destruction of someone else. The worst part is that the judges are saying they themselves are above any similar evaluation that they apply to another. This is called hypocrisy. Hypocrites are saying they are being persecuted for their right to persecute others. And play out the martyr.

Creativity is different. It just shines. Does not judge. Open to criticism. Loves change for themselves and beckons others to follow. No pressure. No pretense. No conditions. Loves. But is strong. Grounded. Looks to the sky, beyond the visible, and unafraid of the unknown all around.
