It
shows you how people can live with one another. How deeply people can
express and feel. How much creativity and divine inspiration can be
a part of daily living. How connected we can be. What is possible
with love.
And how life, itself,
can be art.
Soulful expression
can be a part of everything you do. Not just activities that require
a paintbrush.
6 years ago, I saw
art as objects in museums and galleries. Things to be looked at and
appreciated OUTSIDE of normal life.
I’d heard visionaries
talk of the importance of artists in society, but if all they are doing
is making pretty things to hang on walls, how much difference can that
make?!
The truth is that
being an artist is about seeing every aspect of the world as a medium
of expression, not just the white canvases and lumps of clay.
And
the artist, in that sense, in priceless. The world *can* be better.
The artist can help us see beyond the existing patterns to a new world
view. Beyond “the way things are” towards “The way they should be.”
As artists, we must
strive to see the potential of the world. We must have the courage to
believe in ultimate possibilities.
We are all artists.
