Epiphany...?
I just had a startling realization:
The importance of Art.
Kinda funny coming from me, I'm always painted as an ogre, especially by artists, who better to paint?
But it makes sense...
Everything that everyone needs, they need to be something.
More than merely existing. More than merely breathing.
They need to create something of worth.
More than just Carbon Dioxide emissions or the passing of waste.
Art is about creating and creating is about soul searching.
That's why it's hard to share poetry, hard to show a painting, hard to speak from the heart...
Our soul is there, and as tough as we are on the outside, if you are not gentle with the soul, it will remember it forever...
I need to create.
That's what I've been missing.
Not learning.
Not growing.
Not loving.
But creating!
Why is it that it takes my mind such a long time to grasp the obvious that sits in front of it screaming "I AM HERE!"?
No time for that now.
I need to create.

I don't know many who would really 'paint you as an ogre' or just plain paint you...
I'll hold back a few snickering comments about fries.
I agree with you, there is certain emotion that comes with that. When you can physically see something that you have constructed, crafted, etc. Or maybe in the middle of beginning something.
Glad to see that you have posted.

I find great joy in creating my art, it brings out my feeling weather it be pos or neg. I am my worst judge of my own art, always have been everyone has their own creative talents,you just need to serch your self and find that which inspires and uplifts you. and it does not matter what others think of what you do,cuz most of the time the work is for your inner healing and peace of mind.
I too am glad you posted.
