Life requires so much less than we sometimes demand of ourselves.This is so because often we fail to realise that the requirement of life is Elegant In Its Simplicity.
Life asks us to be here and now;To be present during this moment
We often demand of ourselves to be there and never:To be absent during this lifetime
There is more to life than we know. Our longing for fulfillment and contentment directs our search for Truth And Transcendence.
As Artists we are more fortunate than most to both be aware of this and to realise its signifificance as our Creativity constantly calls us in the direction of this Otherworldly Reality.
We need not be afraid of this beckoning once we realise that Courage is never the absence of fear but rather the Acknowledging of the presence of that fear while Denying it Place.
True Greatness arises from Simplicity,Elegance and Endurance In its Season.
What tree did ever not blossom before bearing evidence of its fruit
What flower did ever not bud before blossoming and blooming in all its Brilliance.
So too there are Seasons in our lives.
As artists on the art show circuit we Transcend Time and Space so our works may be seen and sold.
In a simple yet profound way this allows us to Creatively weave a Tapestry of Protection and Inspiration around a Darkened and Despairing World.

Thanks for your kind thread Mrs.Bilsborrow.
A fish caught in a hook struggles for life and freedom. Sometimes we humans too can also be caught in a hook of Distraction and Diversion which robs us of our ability to experience Life.
Unlike The Fish we hold the Key to our Personal Freedom.
The beauty of this freedom is that with Less Effort it allows us to Accomplish so Much More in our Lives.
Very deep. And it is true that we do demand so much more of ourselves than we are demanded. I would occasionally like to let myself off the hook but it is hard to get off of that hook.
Very Eloquent!!
