Opening Miracles

Photography is a daily act of mediation. My mind seems to be able to conceptualize the miracles that are visually available everyday. Today, I rushed and missed my peaceful moments. As artists, we must be neither too critical of our inaction (ie. a break) or of our creativity. We must release the pressure that seems built up from not breathing  deeply.  I tend to forget the idea of " through breathe to depth..." These basic elements help me accomplish the daily chores (I think we all loathe at least some.) and find time for our passions. Time can challenge us to lose sight of the miracles art has in store for us and our audience. My personal challenge to myself is make art everyday drawing a virtual line from my heart to my subject, regardless of the chosen medium. In doing so, my vision is to advocate for all artist to challenge, share, and create miracles. So, grab a camera, paint brush, or pencil. Take 15 minutes. Just create and remember the joy in your passion.
