Daniel, ma belle

Where am I today? I wish that I knew
'Cause looking around there's no sign of you
I don't remember one jump or one leap
Just quiet steps away from your lead

I'm holding my heart out but clutching it too
Feeling this short of a love that we once knew
I'm calling this home when it's not even close
Playing the role with nerves left exposed

Standing on a darkened stage, stumbling through the lines
Others have excuses, but I have my reasons why

We get distracted by dreams of our own
But nobody's happy while feeling alone
And knowing how hard it hurts when we fall
We lean another ladder against the wrong wall

And climb high to the highest rung, to shake fists at the sky
While others have excuses, I have my reasons why

You can do anything you put your mind to.

Sadly, not necessarily.

Raw talent is only one part of the equation. Determination is far more important, in my opinion. People who work hard, and who are passionate about something, and driven to do it...they can accomplish anything.

Artistic talent is just one of those things that I don't have, and I don't think I'll ever be able to acquire it.

I've always been of the opinion that anything is possible if you want it enough. In my own personal life, that's always been the case, and even though it isn't the same for everyone, I've found that hard work and passion definitely pay off in the end.

I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves.
I keep my lamp lit, to warn the sailors on their way.

I'll tell a story, paint you a picture from my past.
I was so happy, but joy in this life seldom lasts.

I had a keeper, he helped me warn the ships at sea.
We had grown closer, 'till his joy meant everything to me.

And he was to marry, a girl who shone with beauty and light.
And they loved each other, and with me watched the sunsets into night.

And the waves crashing around me, the sand slips out to sea.
And the winds that blow remind me, of what has been, and what can never be.

She'd had to leave us, my keeper he prayed for a safe return.
But when the night came, the weather to a raging storm had turned.

He watched her ship fight, but in vain against the wild and terrible wave.
In me so helpless, as dashed against the rock she met her end.

And the waves crashing around me, the sand slips out to sea.
And the winds that blow remind me, of what has been, and what can never be.

Then on the next day, my keeper found her washed up on the SHORE.
He kissed her cold face, that they'd be together soon he'd swore.

I saw him crying, watched as he buried her in the sand.
And then he climbed my tower, and off of the edge of me he ran.

And the waves crashing around me, the sand slips out to sea.
And the winds that blow remind me, of what has been, and what can never be.

I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves.
And though I am empty, I still warn the sailors on their way.

Well if you look at someone like my uncle...he was born with absolutely no artistic talent whatsoever. After high school, he went to an arts school, started taking classes, and practicing whenever he had the chance. Eventually he improved and learned, and now look at him: he works for Pixar, and does set design for Broadway!

It won't be the same for everyone obviously, but I think if you put your mind to it, and worked hard, and practiced all the time, you'd get better and better at art.

He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye.
