I came across these words and thought what a wonderful gift it would be to share with the world. I have no reference for this but I credit the author.
" Some day you may be as old as I am. Please take my advice, and don’t waste your short life. Invest your youthful vitality in your art. Share the best of your spirit with the world. Your body may die but you cannot die, So, don’t worry about petty things like bodies, money and possessions. They pass with the body and are meaningless. Don’t worry what anyone thinks of you, don’t seek approval, except from yourself". Your art and ideas are signs of your spirit. Your beauty endures forever, as do you".
We become caught up in the web of life and our ongoing struggle to endure. We forget what's truly important. Everyone who creates is an artist. It matters not what is created, it is your own, unique to you and you alone. It is your Art. As long as it engulfs you, as long as it absorbs you fully in the moments of its creation, as long as it transports you from a place of concern with daily living and puts you in a place where time and space do not exist, as it will, it satisfies your spirit . Art puts us all in every single moment in time. The NOW is all that matters because the last moment is simply a shadow of a memory and the next may never come. Don't waste this one. Do art - Create!
