I'M HERE TO EMPOWER YOU!

I’m an artist . . . but that’s not saying much, because I believe, and it is something that I have devoted my time heavily to convey, that art expression is an inherent property of human nature. The media may vary, but not the innate disposition.

Those that know me have heard my “talent-as-myth” diatribe all too often, and if you end up tuning in to my posts, you will encounter it soon enough. It is my goal to change the notion, which a great number of people resign to, that one needs to have “talent” to pursue the art they feel or want and am doing this on a daily basis through my program in the G+ Mentorship Program for Photographers.

With that as preface, I will probably devote a portion of my posts to inspiring artists, but I also plan to impart other conceptions that I have about life in general, with the goal of elevating, encouraging, enlivening or energizing those who read them.

Let me begin with this:

I wish for you the ability to create for yourself all that your heart desires.

It's fecking everywhere!

It's fecking everywhere!
–––
Fecking Corn Syrup*
–––

It's covering my fecking chair,
and bonded with my fecking hair.

It's dribbled onto my fecking toes,
and found its way to my fecking nose.

Would someone fecking
explain to me, please,
how it fecking glued
the backs of my knees?

My fecking fingers are fecking stuck
with fecking feathers in a mawkish muck.

And my fecking camera's lens and screen
took two fecking hours to fecking clean.

OK, I admit
––now that I'm done,
a wee bit of it
was fine fecking fun … ;oƒ

*A fecking farcical fable for my feather fanatic friends, ***** Cheryl Cooper Lauri Novak
… and of course my fellow feather-folly fomenter, E.E. Giorgi

Don't forget there's #MacroFeatherFriday coming up!
Use of corn syrup is at your own discretion, however ... ;oƒ
