The Blessed Unrest

My true inspirations!!!

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy,
a quickening that is translated through you into action,
and because there is only one of you in all of time,
this expression is unique.

And if you block it,
it will never exist through any other medium
and it will be lost.
The world will not have it.

It is not your business to determine how good it is
nor how valuable
 nor how it compares with other expressions.
 It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly,
to keep the channel open.

You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work.
You have to keep yourself open and aware
to the urges that motivate you.

Keep the channel open. ...
No artist is pleased.
There is no satisfaction or whatever at any time.
There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction,
a blessed unrest that keeps us marching
 and makes us more alive than the others!!!

I envy you... You're good at both story and poem! To be honest, I not good at poem so I can't really comment on one. But, through the simple way you write this one, I could understand it (with quiet some time reading it). You work is turly inspirational!

[The Chosen Poet]

This piece is well penned, confidence booster for all craftsmen. I love these lines ''It is not your business to determine how good it is
nor how valuable
nor how it compares with other expressions.'' once more, great piece
