CREATING AND ART (edited)

I am sure there are people far more qualified to produce Art than me - but that is if we look only from the point of view of judging the work.
Now where I stand, each expression of ourselves is golden to us, and even might be to others as well.
It doesn't matter if the technique is masterful, or porportions are right, what matters is that you express yourself. There is creation there that is not to be judged. After all what is humanity without creation?

Creativity is often misunderstood to be an act of the ego and intellect. In truth, the Creative Process is fundamentally a spiritual one. When the imagination is in flight, we are moved to give form to this inner life. Creating charges us with energy. We are grounded in our bodies, yet the creative act takes us beyond ourselves. We exit the world of reacting and enter the delicious world of creating, where we lose track of time. By acting, we bring spirit into matter. By acting, we love our creations into being. And Creativity is vital for well-being, not just for artists and arts professionals, but for everyone, in their own way. When we engage our Creativity, we engage our spirituality.

Well-- that said here is one of my creations. ;)

SUBTLETIES IN LIFE

I like the word subtle - it seems it comes my way too rarely.

It has an echo of peace in it, harmony, love and kindness. With a world full of bold and aggressively strong people - I cherish the subtle people - those who are silent and understand why they are silent.

I love harmony and silence, peace and restfulness. (perhaps this is why I keep feeling anxioty towards the jobs I have had - still have - that expect me to me the officer, the lawmaker, the dictator)

Deepak Chopra in his book "The Book of Secrets" states the following:

• To love someone is subtler than to criticize the individual
• To promote peace is subtler than to promoto anger and violence
• To see someone without judgement is subtler than to criticize the person

I'd like to add my own to this:

• To be silent in subtler than to advice the other person
• To be aware is subtler than to to ignore the other person

I bet the list goes on and on... feel free to leave your own to comment here.

There is no wrong that can be done here.
