Believe What You Seek…
Believe what you seek, not what others would have you speak. Ignore the signs stopping you. That whirling dervish of conviction one conveys need not, nor should not, suggest what your audience wishes you to believe. The question is… Do you convey, speak. or seek? Would that more artists were inclined to present but a perception, rather than a guised demand to follow. Might such an approach lead to a more enlightened state of mind for the curious? For what is one person’s understanding over another? Can yours or my insight of experience be an end all to art as you or I think it should be? Reality’s imagination thinks not. For as Frederick Franck posits: “An artist has an obligation to question the conditions that rule all our lives… and to cause his audience to do the same.” Nothing more. Nothing less, regardless of the discipline one is partaking of. For writers, there is but knowledge converted to words. Write on you lexicon-warriors. Time could be short. © 2017 Odin Roark |
