The Magic of Art...

Art moves us. The application of color, just so. The placement of light, right there. The clashing coordination and fluctuation of tones evoke reactions. We attribute emotions to them. They move us from one state of being to another.
And we come away from those experiences different beings.
Our course of action is subtly affected.
We flow in slightly altered pattern than before.
That is Magic.
And we hold that in our very being, at the core of who we are, the ability to make Art. We all carry within us, imagination and creative skill to create and express the heartbeat of what makes us who we are.
Every. Single. One. Of us.
We all move energy every time we take a breath. We connect to and learn from the energies that move through us. All those things that are inside of us can come out in some fashion. So, why not mold them into something that expresses a piece of innermost being?
It does not matter if others think what we create is something to be appreciated. What matters is that we connect to the expression-a true expression-of ourselves. It can be scary to connect to the energy at that emotional level. It can also give voice to the soul of your soul. And it liberates us to be more fully us.
Let the Art that is YOU be expressed in all its emotional, raw, complex, soft, multifaceted, rare, dark, light, colorful, loud, phase of being.
And then, realize the Magic that YOU are. The Magic you hold, the Magic you bring, the Magic you walk with. Your Magic of Art.
The saying goes, "Dance like no one is watching."A further reflection of that saying is to create something for YOU. Find the beauty and emotional power that is inside of you. Paint. Color with crayons. Dance. Sing. Sculpt. Write. Breathe. CREATE. Connect to the energy that is held in and around you. Create Art. Create Magic. Create YOU.
