I am about tribal feminine power. As a leader, I may stumble but my essence lives to the future-- of my people, of my literature, of my art. And when a tribesman turn against its leader, that tribe will become two. It may faulter my course, but it will not stifle my ending. I rule only among my believers. ↗

And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? ↗

Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it. ↗

I paint to rest from the phenomena of the external world-to pronounce and to make notations of its essences with which to verify the inner eye. ↗
