Good afternoon my dears! I hope you are doing alright today. 

Up for download and viewing is a piece I call " Sactrien The Door Opener " 

What a terrifying thing is must appear to some, the act of expression and creation. For there are those of us who believe the very thing in itself can only come so naturally to few. 

Art and expression...are not things that come naturally to any one soul, for they are not natural at all. Were it to all come naturally, how would any one of us come to enrich ourselves in this world and improve? 

...On the contrary, artistic creation is a deeply unnatural act, and in many ways one of the most controversial choices one can make in their lives. It is not derived from talent and hearsay but from inner observation and constructive confrontation.

That is all to say the only difference between you and I is our fear of what we see, what we  have to say, and what we are willing to sacrifice to share these internal secrets be it time or patience. It is natural to fear, and even more so to restrain our vision with logic and dismissals " I'm not imaginative at all! " " It would not make for good commerce! " " What good is it to society? " 

It is unnatural to relinquish the ego, to let go of time, to revel in the creative process. It is terrifying to realize all the joy is in our expression, not our impression. So some choose to close these doors and pretend they never existed at all. 

But things have a way of finding these doors. Things as Sactrien who will wander by you eventually. And they will rap upon you door again and again throughout your life until you acknowledge its presence. This is not a threat but a truth. 

Your doors were meant to be open, not closed. To do so otherwise...why...that's the most unnatural thing of all, isn't it?
