Do Not Give Up!
Was looking up pictures of Jasmine flowers on Google and found this poem.
Do Not Give Up!
Do not give up!
He who gives up
Never reaches the Satisfaction-Shore.
Who knows?
Each attempt of yours may bring you
Many exceptionally heart-enlightening
Heaven-prosperities.
– Sri Chinmoy.
The current novel is really dark. At first I was intimidated by what people would think about me. I didn’t want to be judged, but at the same time, I needed to explore that side of myself. As with all of my art, I felt like I had to get it out.
Dreamers, artists, innovators often need to be reminded that we should never give up on our dreams. We should never be intimidated by our struggles or what others might say or think. By being true to our vision, we are finding ourselves and our souls.
Every story and experience adds another dab of paint to the human picture.
The world is a dark place right now, with the shadow worries of economic collapse. I think it is THE TIME to bring shadow stories forward, so that we can make them conscious. Write what wants to come out. And good luck!
