He wakes up in the morning with a smile on his face feeling grateful for a new day. It feels to him like a precious gift. He starts his day with a question,
What can be created today without reducing the natural beauty and glamour of nature?
What can be created today without reducing the natural beauty and glamour of nature?
He spends his day like a wanderer but his sharp eyes search for the 'messages of creation'. He seems like a lonely person all alone without a company but he is accompanied by whole creation all the time. His breath is gentle like a child and his acts are often innocent with full of surprises.
What and why he does anything is still a mystery yet to be found. Maybe he imitates the creativity of creation to express it in its best form. But all he finds out is that, its 'incomprehensible'. He tries to understand more and more and each time came to end up with something more, that is 'indescribable'.
What a great illusion of mystery that lets a musician to 'listen music of spheres' to create a symphony, a writer to make a false attempt to shrink the 'ineffable' to words, a painter to 'imitate' the divine manifestation on a blank canvas without reducing its glory and a sculptor to turn an ordinary stone into a 'live statue' that pretends as if it will talk the next moment.
What gives an artist the power to create something 'new' to this world never has been before and almost impossible to imitate?
Maybe it’s their ‘lifestyle’ that is the product of their continuous-unstoppable-experiments to discover the hidden secrets of creation, not so secret but demand an ‘active observation’ to see the Reality as it is, not a modified version of it with the interference of chattering mind.
An artist is not someone who created a masterpiece hundreds of years ago. He was a 'reverend-genius-artist'. An artist is someone who can see the Reality of Creation as it is. An artist is a little curious child who actively observes nature to understand what it is. An artist is an ‘experimenter’ who through trial and error 'experiments' unaffected by success and failure to witness the possible outcomes of 'creative experimentation'.
There is a hidden artist in you. Give him access to yourself. Give him a little freedom to experiment something new, to create something new, to access something beyond the five senses and the little thinking mind.
