To Make Beauty

“To really make beauty, art, or to live artfully one must do it from a particular place, something focused that we get good at no matter how small. Gone is the infinite flowering branch of youth’s open-ended possibilities. One flower is chosen, fertilized and hopefully goes to fruit, dries and its seeds go to grow a new flowering beyond the individual. We no longer chase what we desire, we marry what we follow, and cultivate, hatch, raise up what we love. After the stunning explosion on the shores of possibility, the only thing left standing is what we love.”
