You Must Be an Artist
Introduction
In the words of Rilke: "Meet this solemn question with a strong, simple I must, then build your life in accordance with this necessity; your whole life, even into its humblest and most indifferent hour, must become a sign and witness to this impulse."
The Nature of Creation
We are all intended to create. Just as spiders weave webs and birds build nests, humans have a spiritual and biological drive to shape a world of beauty and function. What sets us apart is our ability to create symbols, imbuing our surroundings with meaning by expressing the invisible through visible forms. This is the essence of art and creativity. Traditionally, art has been seen as the realm of painters, writers, and sculptors?"those who can manifest the intangible into visible expressions.
Reviving Creativity
Bringing art back into our lives restores meaning. Like evolution, creativity is a relentless force. Humans have mistakenly turned away from it, causing much of our suffering. This pain stems not from chance but from confusion and misdirection.
The Role of Art
Art, like science and philosophy, shields us from the overwhelming unknown. By sharing this burden collectively as "citizen artists," we lighten the weight of ignorance. Art, in its broadest sense, is our response to the visible and invisible gifts of nature. It is an expression of the love, beauty, and terror surrounding us. Creativity fuels life’s unyielding energy, fostering growth and understanding. Our task is to replicate this love and beauty, offering solace and understanding through recognition.
Embracing Your Inner Artist
No matter your profession?"be it firefighter, pathologist, babysitter, or banker?"you must embrace your inner artist. Recognize this as your identity and meet the challenge with awe and courage. Your dedication to creativity will shine in your interactions with others.
Commitment to Creativity
Committing to creativity integrates it into your life. It defines your identity while connecting you to something greater than yourself, providing purpose. Creativity becomes the vehicle of meaning.
Starting the Journey
Begin by listening to the creative impulse within you. Move beyond the sadness of having it repressed. Uncover the thin person within the larger frame, the healthy being beneath the addiction, the lover inside the neglected heart. Start with the hope and longing for creativity that resides within you.
