“God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
a fiery throng of muted angels
giving love and getting nothing back.
Oh people, help the people…”

“You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.”
Nowadays, a lot of so-called artists say that you have to be original in your creativity, as a warning to those that copy their style. However, what they do not realize is that they themselves use a lot of stuff from other people in their work. It could be pictures, words, color-combinations, style, swag, whatever. As long as they do that, they do not have the right to discredit the creativity of others as an indirect justification for their own so-called originality. They just have to appreciate that they inspired others creativity and remember that in the end the origin of their creativity is always inspired by Gods original creation. NOTHING is new under the sun. Not even your swag. Period.
