The Proverbial Question Resurfaces

So, What are you going to do with your life, with your art degree?

Sigh. If you lend me your courage, I'll lend you my art.. and together we will rule the world. So, I'm off on a mission - again, a mission that has often failed for lack of courage and punctured dreams.

I am an artist.
There are many things I do, and can do.
Why am I hiding it in a closet and a black portfolio bag?

Because I need to step out there and not care if I get slapped.
