Where my earlier works, what sets them apart is that I didn't need approval and I didn't need permission from anyone because I wasn't being paid.

As an individual with my own hurts, I go into the Garden (Gethsemane) as often as I need to. There I identify with the pain in the other, with my part in that pain, my part in tempting someone to wound me.

Because eventually, I'm going to want to transcend that pain and that anger.
