A
shot of genius lurks in the dark corners of every heart. You will find art
lunge at you when you unlock emotions that you hide. And the experience of self
– of who we really are – is the finest quality of ingenuity we will come into,
ever.
As
day dims in twilight and night sheds her skin to wake a new dawn, we stumble
into yet another portal further down corridors of our barely-explored depth.
Thus, we are ushered into a personal understanding of the mystery on our
insides.
Life
is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able
to treat life as art. Maya Angelou
Every
time we pick up our pen to talk on paper, to reveal our feelings or share a
thought, we create art. It is different, eternally so, from genius because Art is
the way we present self which you would agree is a long shot
from the way we are accepted as individuals.
The
question of whether or not something is Art is completely separate from the
question of whether it is RECOGNIZED as being so. It
transcends the question of judgment, and needs not be labeled or acknowledged
to be what it is. It is a private, personal truth. Steven
Barnes
All
of God’s children are
artists and that is in equal measure as s/he is a work of art. The
problem is remaining an artist after we taste our first real-life battles
whether we fail at it or survive and go a step further to thrive. Splashing
words on a page has its merits – artistic and otherwise – and this puts on some
weight if feelings is genuine.
The
expression of art ought to bring along with it a liberating sense of release to
the person on our insides. It ought to lift us above the turbulent reactions of
the world to our nature. It should set us free, in other words. And right
there is the miracle of life.
Then,
we spread our wings like a young butterfly fresh from the morph and lunge into
the shades of the deeper self to have a swill on seasoned nectar that is pure
art.
Don’t
hesitate to express yourself today!
Let
your pen bleed!
