Hello.
I was just browsing my own gallery and noticing something kind of disheartening.
I have been making plenty of art recently (YAY!) but none of it is all that . . . impressive (YUCK!). I feel like that will change when I go to art school or something.
BUT i also think it is due to lack of social interaction. I mean, how long can one live on an island of thought and ideas and make something amazing. Things are only as advanced as what I hold in my own head. There are no brushes with outside techniqe, inspiration by a similar shape, or explosion of the minds.
I NEED THE WORLD
Last night i did get just that.
Me and an old friend went out to coffee and ended up talking for hours. I told her my horror stories and she told me of a world that I had never been - a place with God and a place in faith. It was absolutely inspiring to sit with her and just throw out thoughts. She is such a wonderful person and only the beginning to this wonderful rabbit hole.
She said ... "We don't belong anywhere. No one really belongs to anything. I don't belong where I am right now... or do I?"
Its an interesting thought; do we "belong" to anywhere or anything? Or is it all just fleeting? My response to that is only to belong to the biggest picture of all. The picture of the sky. And that's where God comes in. The only place we can truely belong is with him.
But we still must hold what we love
because when we hold love, we are love
and God is made of love.
I need to find people and a place to love and hold onto. So that I can be better at being love. I think my art will suffer until then.
