Re: FLASH: On a more serious note...

Well it helps to be neurotic, manic depressive, as well as compulsive 

obsessive...and maybe an alcoholic (not that I'm any of those things); but 

from my humble newbie standpoint, I find that love of art and a hunger for 

creation drives me fundementally.


Sometimes there are long dry times which seem to lead me to believe that I am 

learning nothing and I'm cursed to be forever mediocre, status quo and 

uninspired. Then the epiphanies come and I feel like I've come a long way 

without knowing that I've walked an inch on the long road to Nirvana.


I guess you just have to quit thinking about the goal and realize the fact 

that the *Process* is the is the gold mined along the way. 


Orare est Laborare...or something like that.
