On Creative Suffering:

To put ones efforts into the creative process is a sacrificial practice. Making a new world from the components of the existing. In this, heavy lifting must be done. Trivialities must be postponed. The senses must be focused. Loved ones will go unattended to. Food will be ignored and hunger embraced for the sake of the task at hand. Reputations will be dashed to pieces. Tears will flow like rivers. Callouses will develop on the soft tissue of the hand. Patience will be tested. Sleep will be abandoned. Dreams deferred. And yet even with all this the goal may not be completed by your own hands. The moment may not come where you can stand back and admire the finished object of all your suffering. You may collapse exhausted at the potters wheel. Lifeless hands covered in clay but with the object showing only slight evidence of progress. For some projects are not meant to be finished by one person alone. Indeed I believe no one human has ever completed a single thing on his own but instead has only suffered to put his mark on the piece and then pass it along. And the next person steps up to add his mark until the suffering becomes to much to bear and then moves aside making room for the next one to pick up the tools. And on and on. This begs one to ask when will it be done? How many must suffer to achieve the goal of human transcendence over human indignation? When will truth and justice finally show its face in the marble blocks of lies and injustice? For some of us this is not the point. It is not to be complete but to start and then to never stop. To recognize that even with all the painful costs that are accrued in the process that there is still a priceless joy in the act of action alone. A person defining purpose from the senseless and endowing sense upon the purposeless. Bleeding but smiling. Crying but excited. Starving but feeding the soul. All the while creating. As we colloquially say "No Pain, No Gain" or as James Baldwin said "But art and ideas come out of the passion and torment of experience: it is impossible to have a real relationship to the first if one’s aim is to be protected from the second."
