After A While Of Getting Jerked Around,

Let's Be Honest. You Let Yourself Be Pulled In Because It Felt Good To Be Wanted, Needed. But Then It Went Too Far, As Projected Images Always Do. If It's Not A Real Image, But One That Has Been Projected On To You, Then You Can Keep Up The Masquerade For Only So Long Before The Mask Cracks And The Paint On The Mask Peels Away.

There Certainly Are Situations Where I Feel Not Empowered Or Uninspired. Particularly When The Person's Agenda Is To Intimidate Through Abusing Their Position Or Their Authority. When I Am Present And In A Nonreactive State, Then I Can Become Like Snake And Slide Through Their "intimidation Net" Back Into The Creative Plane. When I Am In A Reactive State, I Usually Regret Responding, Because Usually All That Happens Is That The Intimidator Feels Righteously Vindicated.

The Pop World Has Really Opened Its Doors.

I Collect Art Books. I Have Hundreds And Hundreds Of Them And They Get Me To Start Hearing Things. Sometimes People Look At Them, But I Find That Visual Art Gets Me Listening, Gets Me Hearing Things.

You Don't Leave People Who Can't Defend Themselves.
