I Am an Artist

*Below is a song that I would suggest listening to as you read this weeks post*

I am baffled by the things I have learned and gone through this week. They have been SUCH good things. Oh and by the way, I am waiting until next week to do the next installment of "Time to Reflect" in order to share with you a little bit about what I have been learning THIS week. I learned that MacBooks, when left in the cold car, are FREEZING when you rest them on your lap. (just learned that a few seconds ago :) No but honestly, big shout out to Parker Edwards for suggesting this book that I've been listening to. "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron.

It is teaching me crazy things about myself, and I highly recommend it to anyone with a creative mind. Or even the desire to have a more creative mind and get through the blocks that may be preventing you from finding it. Just know, Art is not constrained to canvas. It is not bound to books. It is however, muddled by misunderstanding. Persecuted by people. Scavenged by scoundrels...

But our creative minds should be bound by nothing.

If we open our minds, we have a bottomless bank account of creativity. It all comes from the great creator. God. When we are truly able to open our minds and free our spirits of evil and filth, our true congruency with God shines through. We become something amazing, because we emulate what God would create. It is a beautiful concept that I am excited to learn more about :)

I realize that all the effort and love I have always put into music, and anything creative I've really ever done, is because I am an artist. I am a creator. I live to become the best creator. Like the great creator. Again, just so you know, that's God. I love pouring my soul into something that makes others happy, or gives others a way to cope with the hells of this life. I live to make light...
