Many years ago, I purchased a Penguin paperback poetry anthology (unintentional alliteration!) and stated on its back cover was, "This collection of poems has everything you need to express what it means to be alive." To this day, all I recall seeing, like a jolt from God Himself, was... YOU NEED TO EXPRESS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE ALIVE. So I did. I read poetry and wrote everyday for 8yrs. Some poetry, flash fiction, short stories, non-fic, all genres. No diary or journal entries. Some published, some not; stopped tracking it at 50+. Point being, art is soul speak. No soul, no art. Engineering and design, yes. Art, no. Curious George has better colour sense in his animated film with Drew Barrymore and Ron Burgundy/Elf actor, Will Ferrell.
