The Tiger's Secret

We give children the means to make art, crayons, pens, paper, paint, but then warn them against ever using them.

That's not for grownups.

That's not a safe path. There are tigers in the woods.

There's rarely ever a moment when I'm glad I chose to live as an artist.

Nearly every moment, I regret the path I took.

There's never been a moment when I believed I could choose.

There are monsters in the woods, suffering and dying. The only way through is to tell their stories.

Deliver the tiger's message, and maybe he'll let you live.
