art is hard

because if it weren't everyone would create it

and everyone would be an artist

because artists are in tune with the undertones

in the natural world.

art is hard on the person who is creating it

because not knowing if what you produce or perform is actually

a work of art

unless someone tells you, 

yes it is beautiful

yes it is insightful

yes it makes me feel

yes it provokes thought

this seems as if it is the only justification of its value

but this is not the right way to measure its greatness

or

is there really a right way?

so long as you still produce and perform

with equal intentions to create

art .
