As Andre Gide said: 'Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.' You ARE brilliant and wise and thoughtful and the fact that you doubt yourself or have fear shows your great integrity. This is like weight-lifting. You must go into the fear and doubt and integrate it into your work. Realize that your extreme sensitivity is your greatest asset!! A great artist must be more sensitive than everyone else. A great artist is someone who senses things which others do not. A great artist must have no fear of jumping into the deep well-spring of the soul- the deep end of the pool. A great artist need not 'iron out the wrinkles' because it is precisely the wrinkles which give character and dimension to a character. Lots of love to you!! Thank you for always sharing with such generosity. Mahmoud ‘Today is one of those days were it is easy to doubt the crooked path I walk both personally and artistically.’
