Reading right now: Steven King – On Writing – A Memoir of the Craft and found this gem:
“Life isn’t a support system for art. It’s the other way around.”
What are your thoughts on this? I read this and knew its truth deep in my bones. So now the question becomes: how can I incorporate more art into my life every day? Most days, it feels like the equivalent in importance to my brain as air is to my lungs.
So, what to do? Since Art and Life are so personal, let’s expand the definition. After a long hiatus, I’m baking again, and it feels so good to be back in the kitchen, hands in the flour. And taking photographs. And recognizing the small and lovely and ever-changing installations of art provided by the natural world – they are everywhere, and their essence feeds my body, mind and soul. Stop. Look. Create. It’s here now. Art as a support system for life.
Oh, and Thank You Steven King. 😊
