The Art of Living

Good Day,

Capturing moments in memory, then carefuly freezing them into a recognizable plane for all to view, share and indulge in. This is the work of an artist. Not all artists, but a select few who have recognized the preciousness of each and every second and dedicated their eyes and hands to capturing these moments so that the rest of the hurried world may stop and relish inbetween the minutes as well.

Art is a language that attempt to speak to our hearts directly without translation or definitions. It is the capture, display and connection of thoughts, ideas and heartfelt passions communicated through space and time using only symbols and meaning. Not only does it call out to and stir feelings within us, it inpires those feelings to new highs and lows and creates moments within the moments - periods of introspection that many of us would never experience any other way.

So you may be asking what does any of this have to do with you or I?

In all of our beauty and all of our ugliness we too are works of art. Our lives are nothing less than the emotions, inspirations, and works of art I described above. Each of us are a wonderful color or pixel in a grand art project we cannot step outside of to witness, and each of us contributes to the finished piece moment by moment, second by second. Not only are we the masters, we are the masterpiece as well!

Design and create your life accordingly, for although you may not be able to see your efforts in the final rendering at this very moment, you are contributing through everything you do and the day will come when you see the beautiful art you have been a part of.

Have a beautiful day and consider this - Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.

Peace and Love, Jim
