Wish Beauty

Wish beauty;

there are some who wish beauty to the world, artist, wanting only to share those visions that deeply stir their souls, expressing themselves through whichever means inspiration has provided. In this description I believe most everyone is an artist of some sort, different mediums for each of us, with some perhaps more subtle in their work, maybe not quite realizing their life approach is artful in its expression. 

this was a life changing realization for me, providing a mindfulness of action that was absent before - not just my writing and the desire to share, but deeper so, the little acts that could help foster a sense of kindness between two souls, living compassionately, not by choice, but more spontaneously, that my entire life was to be freely given in some truly meaningful way. 

my role is to wish beauty to the world. 

as is yours. 

with this I equate beauty with love, synonymous, that every creative act is rooted in divine origin and is expressed through a deep, committed sense of love. A parents devotion shows this clearly, how a life is crafted with this care, wishing our children a lifetime filled with beauty and providing the means for their fulfillment. I think of my own mother, an artist in the truest sense and how this showed in the little acts of love, striving for beauty in the things she created for my childhood. And not just for me, she was a teacher with a clear devotion to her classroom, putting in long hours past the schoolroom to create an environment filled with love and beauty. She was a teacher of the highest order, an artist, and she truly wished beauty to the world. 

my own art is less important in this way, I'm not reaching a classroom, nor am I a parent nurturing a young mind - it's much easier, more simple, and expressed through fewest words. My true art is listening, giving time to silence and then working with that first glimmer that inspiration has provided. I wake early for this, cultivating silence to hear the words more clearly, and then sharing because that's the role of every creation, regardless if any reader might find these words. Art is shared. That's the only goal it has, wishing beauty to the world through the very act of its creation. It's with this that I feel fulfilled, not by any sense of duty, nor by a feeling of achievement - but that I'm on point, expressing myself, sharing, and yes, wishing beauty to the world. And this seems to carryover to those little acts of my daily concerns, interactions with others, an opportunity to continue to wish beauty. 

again, it's all spontaneous, freely done and given. 

art, for the sake of love and beauty.
