Motivation

What is this mysterious
thing inside me that rails
Against the mountains in my way,
that rebels against the mundane
And yet hesitates to fly free?

What if I need the monotony
to motivate me
to cultivate wings
to discover le monde
without fear, within my means?

Wow, your handwriting has not changed a bit over all these years. Supposedly that shows a good sense of self at an early age. One thing I don't get though, did YOU draw the pretty picture, or was it Sainte Victoire?

Yes, I drew that picture, too. It is of the mountain, Sainte Victoire. The REAL artist, Paul Cezanne, painted it dozens of times, each time far better than I managed =)
