Art
Art is a living-healing-learning adventure and it never needs to end. When we uncover or create art in our lives we discover again and again new worlds, new healing adventures, laughter and tears.
Cup your hands together as though you are protecting a special object. Breathe life into it and give it existence. Now open your hands and witness your amazing creation.
It never needs to end.
Creation Is Sacred
Creation is a sacred process, but it can be done and/or witnessed with complete irreverence. Art does not stand on ceremony, though it will tolerate it with grace. Wherever people have gathered to hear a story, see a performance or glimpse a view into another world, there is art. These worlds, as transient as they might be, have been, in their moment, just as sacred as yours.
Art Communicates
Art communicates. That is the only thing that all art has in common. If art does not communicate to a person, then they will not consider it art.
Art Touches Us
Art touches us deeply because it can be such a pure communication. It can cut straight through all our defenses and express things that we might never be able to express any other way. It can also just be silly. Silly is a communication and if it's appreciated, then it's art.
Art Strikes A Chord
Art has just the right balance, just the right amount, just enough and no more. It is just enough off-kilter to speak to someone about the way they feel.
Art Reaffirms
Art reaffirms a persons place in existence. If the tree can feel alone then so can I. And if the tree can be alone and at the same moment connected to all that was and all that will ever be then I can too and I am not alone: I have a tree and we now have a club. In this way, art has saved more lives than you can count. Art is salvation.
Art Is A Time Machine
An ancient melody from a wistful day can make your heart go pitter pat. A couple of notes and just like that, you are young again.
Art Is Living
When Art really communicates it can seem to have a life of its own. Suddenly a universe is created out of thin air swallowing you alive. It's grip so overpowering the real world becomes the dream, and this sacred epiphany the only thing that could possibly be real. In that moment you might never have felt more alive in your life. At that moment, you know Art is Living.
Art breathes. Art moves. Art thinks. Art hopes. Art bleeds.
Art desires. Art touches. Art loves. Art siezes.
Art changes. Art heals. Art nourishes. Art fulfills. Art Grows.
Art is.
Art is Living.
Art is Immortal.
