to be an artist, you don’t have to paint, write books, star in movies or compose music it’s just a way of living it’s looking, observing, noticing, remembering, framing paying attention and answering participating in life

“There's a a life force that is translated through you into action. And because there's only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. If you block it, it will never exist. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good or valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business only to keep it yours, clearly and directly — to keep the channel open.” — Martha Graham

it's content when you make it for others; pleasing external expectations to grab attention quickly it's art when you make it for yourself; channelling internal rhythms to express your self deeply content is having to say something art is having something to say content is distraction art is meaning

most people struggle to think of themselves as kind, brave, sincere, creative, artists etc — if not told so by someone else it's so easy to help them out; if you see something in someone you want to see more of, just tell them compliment the change you want to see in the world

one of those that seems to get exponentially more apt by the year: "The real problem of humans is the following: we have paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and god-like technology." — Edward O. Wilson, 2009
