As it turns out, you can function while your heart is being torn to shreds.

Raw is a good place for an artist. It's where the truth comes out.

I thank heaven that the 4th. of July is over. It is always a day of great fatigue to me, and of some embarrassments from improper intrusions and some from unintended exclusions.
