Is this intended as a work of art, or, as a statement? Is it perhaps a lament for the death of the Bruitflow, or, on an even bigger scale, for the death of art for art's sake in favor of society's growing trend for "consumable" art, as well as consumable culture, consumable resources, and expendable life, etc.? I realized some time ago that it doesn't matter if my art ends up not being experienced by anyone other than myself. It doesn't matter if no one other than myself lives to love and create; it is enough for me simply to experience the pure act of creation. There are always a few who share these ideals: it is worth it for them. There is a story I'd like you to read. I don't believe I've ever really told you the full story of my near-death experience -- I finally put it into writing a few months ago and posted it on a website dedicated to hosting stories from people's lives. Hopefully it could serve as a source of inspiration for those that read it. If you are interested, here is a link: http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Had-A-Near-Death-Experience/1134494
You are an amazing artist -- don't let the world take that from you, even if God doesn't exist and the universe is full of malevolence and indifference.

Thank you Matt. I've been having a tough time.
