From the bottom of my being

In the process of creation there is a kind of wave that takes the artist to different heights or depths of his or her being. The better one is at 'surfing' this wave, the more complex and 'closer to home' that certain creation is. 'From the bottom of my being' is a collection of such works, some in the form of poetry, others in the form of a short story or essay. Each embodies a sincere feeling or thought that hid, and which maybe still does, within my mind and soul. All an artist can do is to relay life as he/she sees it. This act can be directed towards the outer world where tales of beauty and mythical places are born; or it can be diverted within, where the true challenge lies. To see this latter with all its dimensions and implications that it has for the beholder, is indeed a most difficult task. If however, the journey is made in earnest or at least embarked upon, there are treasures and experiences waiting to be bestowed upon the artist. My journey is still happening, far from being finished. This book is but a milestone on the way, a resting spot where I revisit the places seen thus far. As a traveller that returns home with tales to tell of distant corners of the world, so am I sharing the lessons encountered thus far on my journey within. Sincerely, An innerartist
