"The work of the artist is no light matter. Few have the courage and stamina to see it through. You have to make up your mind to be alone in many ways. We like sympathy and we like to be in company. It is easier than going it alone but alone one gets acquainted with himself, grows up and on, not stopping with the crowd. It costs to do this. If you succeed you may have to pay for it as well as enjoy it all your life. You can do anything you want to do. What is rare is actually wanting to do a specific thing. Wanting it so much you are practically blind to all other things, so that nothing else will satisfy you. There is reason for you to give this statement some of your best thought. You may find that this is just what is the matter with most of the people in the world; that few are really wanting what they think they want and that most people go through their lives without ever doing one whole thing they really want to do."- Robert Henri

New 8thWonder Dedication To Lauryn Hill

Anyone that knows me, knows that this amazing woman is my all time, hands down beginning to end favorite songstress the One and Only Lauryn Hill.  When I was 6 years old I was introduced to her soul piercing music through my Uncle Brian (He typically is the one who has introduced me to anything I've come to love and appreciate over some years)  This piece I created titled "Natural Elevation" is meant to portray both the beauty that is Lauryn Hill and her music in and of itsself, as well as the struggle between dark(media) and light(her gift of music, poetry, acting etc.) Her music has inspired many of my projects and has also helped save me and lift me out of some of the darkest holes in my life.  "Natural Elevation" by the way is the definition of "Hill".  Lauryn Hill your music will live on forever in the hearts of any and everyone thats been touched by it.
