We Are All Artists

We are all artists.  Even those of us who do not feel like artists.  We may say “Oh I am not creative.”   Or “Creativity just doesn’t come naturally to me.”  But….even to arrange the living room in a way that pleases us is an act of art.  To create a meal is a work of art.  Every expression that is meaningful is an act of creativity. Coordinating a family schedule is art and skill combined.

We are all here to create.  We all have elements within us that must come out.  If you like the way three prints look together on a wall after you have hung them, then their art has become artistic in your hands through your creative expression. You have created a view. If that view provides pleasure to others or yourself, then your artistic act has been an offering and inspiration, whether you are conscious of it or not. 

So rather than thinking of yourself as linear, look around at every small act of creativity that comes from you and honour it as your inner spark from which so much more will flow if you will only open the gates.
