art

Rilke said that the artist must "go into himself." Total introspection is crucial to creation. I agree. This requires solitude. But what if, in going into myself, I find the loneliness unbearable? This is what seems to be happening to me. And if I were truly alone, I would not stand it. That's the pathetic truth, at least right now.
