a million times already.
Humility is to keep believing, to keep dreaming, keep creating, because you are convinced
that the still small voice inside you
speaks truth.
Humility is to forgive those who do not believe, do not dream, do not create;
to forgive those whose vociferous insistence of practicality and version of reality
releases a deluge of discouragement.
Humility is the power to remain true to who you are with gentleness, patience and peace,
when the storm hits you hard.
Oh humble artist, you are called to create, in a culture that worships the dark images
of despair!
O humble artist, you are called to create, not for accolades, or the opinions of man,
but because the Love within you is a fire
compelling you to express
how Hope captivated you!
Oh humble artist, you may not get the podium or the pulpit
but your voice is the one thing
- even though faint -
which pleads the case for many
as the invading horde of Uruki, these hope-killers, thunders at the gate!
So paint, sing, dance, speak!
You have been called to lead the armies of the King into battle
dear humble artist!
Lover's Dream
