How To Live a Creative Life
Dear Creative Confidantes:
Welcome to your first every-so-often electronic postcard.
As creative people, we try to make our way in the modern world holding our art in one hand and driving the car with the other. We try and do our best put art and beauty at the center of our lives. And sometime we do. Though sometime we coast through a stop sign or find ourselves in a drive-thru ordering a milkshake.
Life, my friends, happens.
So when you find yourself in the middle of life wondering, the way David Byrne from the Talking Heads asks himself, Well, how did I get here? in the song "Once in a Lifetime," look for beauty. Look for a weed and call it a wildflower.
Enjoy each temporary moment and try to find the art in it.
