Stop hiding? Noooo. We’re artists, darling. Hmm, time to be brave, come out of our caves, um, I mean studios and interact with the big wide world! Luckily we have been inspired by a whole host of wonderful people who can show us how. Gently does it, maybe, but there’re lots of lovely people out there to discover. Okay, put on your dancing shoes and sing it with me… 🎵🎶🎼 Let’s get visible, visible, let’s get visible… 🎶🎵🎼🎤 (it’s bad when you need a youtube ref for young ‘uns to get the joke!) The Man in the Arena "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
