This is a story of a man who felt abandoned by his Muse, his talents,
his metaphorical lovers. Over the course of a turbulent departure, and a very
long interval in a foreign land, he eventually returns to find new inspiration
from what he had left behind. After all, it was he who abandoned his very self.
Now
he finds he is curating his own life from the found objects secreted in boxes
he once felt had no worth.
He discovers new dimensions of himself in the array
of his gleaming treasures – the un-produced screenplays, the unpublished
novels, the un-blogged blogs… the countless short stories / plays / poems /
lyrics / photographs / paintings… These are his personal works of
art and artistry, his mind and heart, his true loves.
This is a story of a man who realizes, in the process of finding
himself, an unintended consequence of these treasures: his work has taken on
more than a newly inspired meaning; it has become an exhibition of priceless
worth.
