RE: Day 543: 5 Minute Freewrite: Tuesday - Prompt: born
Thank you for sharing again and I feel it an honor to be the first human commenting here :) There are times I have dreamed too what to write, or gotten these inspiring messages and found them miraculous in their creativity and message and not had anyone else pay attention to them. I was once talking to an artist about how my best poetry seemed to be looked over and how they ooooowwwed and awwwed over the ones I thought weren't so great. Anyway, he said, "Welcome to the world of art!" I never forgot that. Keep creating what comes, perhaps some day in the future it'll be appreciated?
Okay, probably a longer than fifty words response!

Aw...
Welcome to the world of art. Such a different world than the one most of us learn to judge ourselves in! In art we have to learn to use our own metric, and it's n dimensional. I just looked up metric to make sure I was using it right and the definition/sample sentence is a standard of measurement
no metric exists that can be applied directly to happiness.
Art is happiness.
One of my earliest posts on steem was this haiku, with the heading advice by haiku for steemit newbies. It's another one I think is really good, and no one read it. So I keep resurrecting it in comments, bringing it back from the blockchain's graveyard of past payout posts. Forgive me!
In the beginning
I placed my most treasured work
and no one noticed
Love it! I think I'm going to write it on a small piece of paper and hang where I can read as inspiration to following our own metric in the pursuit of happy, artFULL living! XO
