Art

All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life.

I would love to be an artist.  I would like to make a living just creating and thinking creatively and stuff like that.  Maybe I am.  Maybe, like the quote above implies, we all are artists.  I just worry that too many people's lives are "paint by number" art when they're really destined to be multimedia mobiles or repurposed sculptures or papier mache and glitter puppets.  Even though I'm not a fan of glitter, if that's the art of your life, pursue it.

And clean up after yourself.
