Look friends, this is a only a lighted screen. On which people paint their dreams. Spill out their fears, Perhaps cleanse their souls. Words printed not in stone, Gone with the strike of a key. Meaningless to all, But perhaps their own creator. Never intended to live forever. As if they were wispy clouds in the sky, Shifting, changing and then goodbye. Does the maker of those clouds care Who sees them there, need comment of awe and splendor, an adoring audience from below to lavish him with praise? My guess is he does not, Like our thoughts on this screen, impermanent and fleeting, His are flights of artful heavenly whimsy, A clear endeavor of self expression, Not meant to last. Put up there on his canvas, Merely for his own enjoyment.
We should not take this endeavor too seriously. Or ourselves either. That kind of thinking caused Vincent Van Gogh to loose both an ear and his life.
There are endings to all endeavors and never are they worth your life. "It is truly a blind man who views his own worth, only through the eyes of others'." Creation should never become obsession.
For a friend in need, he knows who he is and his worth.
