about
Originally written for my visionary music blog at iggli.com, later republished at Daniel Pinchbeck's community news feed realitysandwich.com, this essay concerns itself (and you) with the unavoidable danger inherent in creativity itself. At the very least, the creative act changes you; all too frequently, we pursue it beyond our own depth and go mad or lose our lives.
Here read aloud, slightly (~ 1%) abbreviated for time.
