Our minds are often caged by our past, our insecurities, our fears, our worries. Creativity is bound by it's neighbour-the rational mind, often too rational! Our senses are numbed by our greed to satisfy all "natural needs" which are taught to us by the world. Money, money, money! We've lost the innocence of the pure enjoyment of arts, of self-expression. Too often, we express with fears, fears of rejection(fears of not winning awards?). We express what we think others want to see and hear. Are we still being ourselves???
