Who Can Bear The Artist's Heart


Our hearts are a heavy burden to bear.  In them are all our memories and condemning secrets.  Artists feel much the same way about the content that compels them to create.  The content is too heavy to bear because of the tragic truths in the human experience.  I often wonder if the artist’s heart is a curse or a blessing.  That heart always seems to carry its own tragedies and the tragedies of humanity.  Someone must help and if there is a Someone, I would worship Him because He would be worthy of worship.
