W.O.W. Wednesday...Living as an artist

"Being an artist means forever healing your own wounds and at the same time, endlessly exposing them."  
~Annette Messager
Our lives are the most gorgeous canvas upon which we shall create.  There is no clause in our life that says things will be neat and tidy.  Living is messy and grand.  We might experience seasons of great upheaval and raw hurts in our artistry.  Being an artist is not about painting the prettiest picture, it's about crafting the most authentic art.  Sometimes our experiences suck and they are messy; the bittersweet endings, the sad goodbyes, the way death sneaks up on all of those we love.  And other times our art is radiant with color and possibility.  Each contrasting experience intensifying our aliveness.  

As we touch our sorrow we allow others to sit with the tender moments that have cracked their hearts wide open.  It is in this delicate pose that we become intimate with our lives.  When we can sit in the terror, the tears, and the unknown; we create an opening for love to visit.  If we have the courage to share our wounds perhaps we have the courage to truly live.  To live without shame, and fear, and guilt.  To live without denying the law of opposition.  To know love is to have grieved for your greatest delight.  To know sorrow is to know the possibility of love rests within you.  

Some of my most beautiful works of art have come from some of the most painful moments in my life.  At the time they felt hopeless and intolerable, but now sitting with them, they have become part of my masterpiece, part of my work as a soul on this Earth.  I sit with these moments like I might sit with an old friend.  Compassion spills into our conversation.  Truth radiates from our lips.  Love spills from our hearts.  My heart whispers, "I have missed you my beautiful friend.  Let's create another splendid piece of art."

May You Sweetly Seek:)
In Gratitude, 
​Sarah
