This is corny, but I’m looking for corny in my life! The true work of art isn’t in the end result, even though that would be super nice. It’s in the patience and beauty that is found in carving out those five minutes to do what you love, amidst all that f*****g pressure. And, over time, those five minutes, twenty, compound, and they create a life full of richness. Full of art. If we shift our attention to the everyday, to the practice of working on something for the sake of the work itself, I think we’ll find that every day will gain a new sacred flavor.
In the end, you, the artist, through time and patience, become the diamond. You are the gift you give to yourself.
