RE: Creating and Art as a Perpetual Healing Meditation — An Exploration

Thanks for writing and posting from our front end - it was really nice to see this pop up via a bot in our Discord! I have always loved your work, especially as you tap into the source as you do so, coming from a meditative place and a place of loving intention as you create.
I used to go out with a guy who was the most impatient guy ever - honestly, he was so quick to temper (not violent, just grumpy). Yet he could sit for hours and hours doing fine ink metal/thrash album covers, really detailed and intricate, and be as calm as mustard. He always said without drawing he'd be a real asshole.

Well, thanks for the kind words @riverflows, as well as for the "nudge" that got me over here!
"Intention" is a very important part of the process here... it's hard to verbalize, but there's a certain "responsibility" that goes with creating art that might also become part of someone's spiritual practice.
I'm probably the opposite of the guy you used to date... I'm quite content to sit and watch grass grow for days on end! I believe that without art, I would probably be far less inclined to engage and be actively involved in the world around me. I'm a sort of "quiet recluse," I guess!
