last night i was reminded of how i need to make art. rainer marie rilke in "letters to a young poet" asks the question "must you write?" I've talked about and meditated on that question quite a bit..... must you create? and if you must then do it. with all your heart and soul. (that's the general gist of the letter Rilke writes.) The need, desire, impulse to create has "spread its roots into the very depths of [my] heart."
so anyhow, i keep remembering that I need to incorporate little experiences of creating, whatever that may look like, if i "don't have time" (ugh. that's another blog post, eh?) to make an extensive piece of art.
today i was sitting in a difficult conversation, wanting it to be over, feeling quite drained. and i felt struck by the art in the every day. my surroundings matched my insides in the most perfect way.
