The internal conflict in creating a piece of art has a different quality than the internal conflicts that may exists as you move throughout the day. Facing your fears. In both you can be facing your fears, but they take on a different shape and they demand a different focus. The message is our life is not, not directly anyway, a painting or a building or a piece of music.
So what does it mean to make art? Does it mean we need the focus of a Brahman? Or Mother Theresa?
A day is planned moment by moment to cull the most out of the day in order to strengthen, clarify, mold, hone our life, and there is no going back. Yes, we make many mistakes no matter how perfect we try to make the day and a kind of going back could be apologizing, redoing the day, redoing the task. You can erase the notes in a measure of music and no one will be hurt, except maybe you, the essence of creation.
