Il y a beaucoup à méditer sur ce texte et j'avais envie de le noter, de ne pas le laisser perdre. C'est sur la création, l'acte créatif et le but recherché par le créateur. C'est sur le mal que peut faire une critique, une moquerie. C'est sur la liberté qu'on peut tous s'accorder de choisir sa voie. Et bien plus encore, mais chacun y trouvera certainement ce qui doit lui convenir.
Merci Jen Gray, tu me fais du bien, il me semble qu'on doit être un peu de la même famille d'humains !
Voici ce qu'elle écrit sur son blog:
a long long time ago, i loved making art and was able to have a little side job selling my watercolor paintings. they did well enough and i sold just about everything i made.
and then i did an art show, and i only sold one painting, and i was outshined by the woman next to me who was selling reindeer faces made out of logs. someone rolled their eyes at my work and for whatever reason, i stopped painting that day. i put everything in a box up in the attic and let it gather dust.
with a little encouragement from a couple friends i have reopened that box. and it has been like an explosion. all this cooped up energy. i cant wait to get home from work and dive in. now my hands are speckled with paint and ink and textures and my moleskin journals are gaining weight.
and it feels right.
right now, it's the perfect format to express the things that aren't getting out otherwise. and I'm always caught by surprise.
i know in the past, i have felt i must have some sort of talent to "do art". but that is bullshit. if it feels good to you, than do it. who cares what it looks like. if it is a helpful avenue for your spirit, than by all means, dive in.
for me it's no longer about it looking good, it's more of a form of meditative expression. and it's one place in my life where i have no rules and no one looking over my shoulder telling me what to do and how to do it.
i don't have to be successful. i only have to let what i love to do have time and freedom to do just that. its like letting your dog run wild in an open field without a leash.
so today, i encourage you to remember what it is you love, and to give yourself the freedom to play in that energy for awhile. i promise, something good inside of you will become ignited...
