The Art of Becoming

The Art of Becoming is why we Create.

The Art of Becoming is why we set goals. As Thoreau said, “It’s not so much about the goal, as it is about who we become in the process”. As we stretch ourselves, try new things, jump into the unknown in our art, we learn about ourselves at a deep level. Yet, this is not our comfort zone. It’s uncomfortable, yet here is where our power lies.

As we reach for something new, a mark that is true to us and unique to the world, shifts happen within us. We get out of our routine, our rut, our mundane same old thing that we know so well.

Instead of following the style of someone we admire, we enter new territory of the imagination. We need confidence here. Plus, the more we enter this place, the more we Trust ourselves. Often we must follow the inner voice and see where it leads. Intuition is fleeting like a dream. We need to take notes, sketches, color schemes as they appear, or they may float off to find another receptive artist.

The Art of Becoming enters the Other World of the dreamtime. When you create something totally new, when you enter the place of being vulnerable but True, it moves people. Plus it surprises you! This art creates a sense of wonder, awe, and feeling. It’s unexpected, holds a sense of Magic, and beautiful. Each piece reveals more of who you really are, while you learn something new about yourself. An awesome place to create. Yet this is what people will love, be drawn to, and must have.

Doing art takes you away from the sticky, emotional, ancient tribal stuff of the world, to your personal sanctuary. Creativity brings you into the Now, aware of the Present. In addition to healing, feeling good, and opening perception, it brings you into balance. Art feeds the soul. You discover your Truest Self there. So come back to art, to play.
