An Artist

An artist: 

we all have some unique beauty to share, something deep within us that yearns to surface to the world through some inspired way. We're artist, all of us, although many have stifled this creative urge, or its voice has lost it's urgency over the course of some many years. Perhaps the issue has become one of self -judgement, that our own inner critic has been so harsh that we can't bear to express ourselves in a way that leaves us vulnerable, we're afraid of ourselves and the opinion that we'll offer, and sadly, we never allow a true moment of of inspiration to take hold. 

unless we gather the courage to let go...

and simply be expressive.

exactly as we are. 

to be an artist takes courage, openness, and makes us vulnerable indeed. It's those tentative moments of first expressing ourselves that matter so deeply. This is our innate beauty seeping through, hard surface cracked open and now we're showing inspiration to the world. If even, only, just a little. It's our start and a tremendous act of courage. We should never take it lightly. 

so it only takes a little here,  leaving a small sketch across a legal pad, dancing in the privacy of a closed room, learning to fold a piece of paper as to resemble an animal - it doesn't mater. It's ours. It's art. And doesn't need to be explained to anyone at all. 

listen to that inspired voice that urges you to be creative.

have courage.

and be exactly what you are...

an artist.

To Live From This Point

To live from this point: 

to simply live my life from the point of inspiration, that's what I aspire to, and right now, it seems to largely be reality - perhaps not always perceived to be so, but that my life itself is arranged in such a way for this to be true. It's only a matter of realization. What I mean with this is that the entirety of my life is inspired through some greater force than my own limited understanding, it's spontaneous, and honestly it feels gifted to me, that somehow, through no effort of my own, I find myself alive, aware, and able to live a life of deep joy and appreciation. 

I'm inspired...

by simply being here,

as if a larger force, mysterious, has breathed me into existence.

and again, it's through no effort of my own.

with this I see that I've always been inspired, we all have, it's like we're an idea in the mind of God that has awaken to this reality, a realization that we belong within a greater system than we could ever possibly imagine. We, ourselves, are an inspired thought, and that's the key to freedom. 

our very source is inspiration. 

inescapable. 

and there's no real choice here,

 but to live from this point.
