Imagination is key to creating an artful and purposeful life.
We spend most of our days imagining all manner of things with
out a purpose, yet these pictures, images and thoughts eventually guide our direction in life. Therefore it is important that we purposefully guide our images and pictures and thoughts. Take hold of our imagination and direct it on purpose. I make it a daily practice to take care of what I imagine so that it is congruent with my values and on purpose.
Purpose is a process, as alive as we are, It lives through us and along-side us. My purpose is to be an Artist in all aspects of my life, actively working for inner peace and a society-world that reflects that. To inspire and coach others to be creative and celebrate life, to be compassionate, generous, and participate in what ever ways they can in creating a better world for the generations to come.
Here is how I worked my imagination today. I imagine a newborn baby opening its eyes for the first time, the shimmer of a dragonfly’s wings in the early morning light on Mount Fuji, the sun setting in the South of France over fields of sunflowers as far as the eye can see, biting into a crisp apple just picked, the smell of jasmine at night, the final note written on Beethoven’s fifth symphony, the final stroke of the brush in the Mona Lisa’s smile, seeing the fourth primary color, and what a world with an economy based on peace would look like.
It is a necessary thing for us to spend some part of our day to stretch the imaginative muscles with intention and direction.
This drawing is titled ‘Stillness.’ Be still, listen, see, observe and feel in the vast space of that stillness, and all that is possible emerges.
