This translates into art too. If you say a piece of art was easy to do, often people undervalue it. I love working in a state of flow, makes me glow inside. Those pieces feel completely complete.

What a great coincidence. Just a little bit before reading your post, I read one from Austin Kleon where he quotes Kris Kristofferson explaining a Blake poem: "He’s telling you that you’ll be miserable if you don’t do what you’re supposed to do."

So damn true and I really wonder how humanity has weaponized doing what we love. It is so bizarre. And I'm so glad you picked up your pencils and pens and all the software. The world is a better place for it.
