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
