I almost deleted this email but decided to read before I quit working for the day. An encouragement and deep insight to my core beliefs. We were made to live and to live is to notice beauty and be in our lives. This is bigger than biology. Art connects us to the divine.

Yes, observe the beauty and small things and experience them, but living is not only the beauty but often much more. There is a dark side as well. I guess I am more aware than many of that, but my art tries to see that beauty can even lie in the darkness as well. Not all of it, but some. Each of us is in our own capsule, we experience everything independently of any other being, because we bring to it our own perspective. And, our perspective is formed from what we have lived. Thank you for the thoughts.

I didn't get too new age in the post, but "light" and "dark" are dualities we create with our own concepts. As you say, there can be beauty in the darkness.

Introspection of the world around us and our connections with the mystery of life, when we can quiet our mind of the daily challenges, we can be inspired to be a better human on the planet, and better artists. Live, learn, & lead…
