"If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain:
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain."
--Emily Dickinson, American Poet (1830-1886)
I've loved this poem since I discovered and collected it into a notebook in high school. I know many of my healer/creative/intuitive clients would agree with its sentiment!
From Wikipedia about Emily Dickinson: "Virtually unknown in her lifetime, Dickinson has come to be regarded as one of the greatest American poets of the 19th century. Although she wrote (at latest count) 1789 poems, only a few of them were published, all anonymously and some perhaps without her knowledge." Don't let a lack of recognition from others slow you down. Stay true to what you know in your heart and get your creations out there -- the clients will come sooner or later. Either way, you will have helped.
