I forgot once what it was like to be enthusiastic. I remembered again that feeling and came to understand the game. There are many games to be played each day and each day brings with it an entire new set of characters. There are no rehearsals here, but the main characters know precisely who they are and what they are doing to each other. That is the game of manipulation and concession. The context of these occurances always falls within the relm of finance and time occupation with things and people we would rather bypass altogether. This steals away enthusiasm and sucks dry the inside that will always cry for something more.
The essential characteristic of any human is to overcome and adapt. During this process we store away feelings and experiences that come back to haunt us like a tick tock in the middle of the night. We learn how to operate within certain structures and find ways to benefit from each encounter. This can only be done when there is enthusiasm. In time this enthusiasm can become part of the essential self, adapted and morphed to fit the secondary reactions to primary forces based solely on the game being played. Time is the number one rehearsal and learning tool that helps display the ways in which perceptions fall into place within any given context. None of this is necessary, but if you love the game and the people in it, it's all good! Or you can be complacent and sit down and think about it over a taco and a coke. LLc 98.2

create
Art can never be repeated or properly duplicated, not even by the artist; they do not know how. The feelings behind the art, whatever kind of art, are there for only a brief moment. They can only be coupled with the senses for so long until they vanish in the moonlight. Remembering the feeling is strenuous and always difficult. If it becomes forced or made to look a certain way, then it is no longer art. Once we formulate art around what is called for we forget the point of art itself. Because it can never be duplicated, art fills our need for new things. It feeds our innate desire to strive in our time to become significant in some way. We do this not for reward or recognition. Instead, we become involved in creation because there is nothing more human; nothing more fascinating, and nothing greater than the expression of one's passion. The rewards come from within. Then and only then can life truly begin. LLc 98.2
