Create
“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” – Pablo Picasso
“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” – Thomas Merton
Everyone of us has a capacity to create, to be creative. We need to act on it. Tapping into that deep well, exploring the unknown, letting the mystery unfold. The act itself is the end, the purpose. No answers, no right or wrong. Mere expression to release what yearns to come out of each of us, our spirit.
I’ve been interested in book arts for a while. Yesterday, I finally jumped in and took a class on stitching a leather journal. There’s something about working with your hands and seeing parts become a whole. Some thread, scraps of leather and paper merging into something tangible. Not sure how it will all come together, yet it does. Wandering a path with guidance but no map, the destination is found. Create.
