The Way of the Peaceful Artist

The peaceful artist sees all art as beautiful. All art is created because it is loved; it is not truly art if the artist does not love that which he creates. The peaceful artist loves his work. He doesn’t compare it with others in a sense of judgement. His work is not inferior to others, because he loves his work as much as does any artist. His work is not better than another because that undermines the love all artists have for their creations. Therefore, the peaceful artist does not compare his art with others or others with his. To compare creations is to compare love with love; this is impossible because love simply Is, it does not have a value that can be compared and contrasted.


The peaceful artist sees all of life as art. All things that exist are a creation, and nothing can be created that is not loved. If it is not loved then it does not exist, because it has nothing to sustain it. It simply fades away. Even if we ourselves do not love something, if it is in existence then it is loved. The peaceful artist sees this as Truth and does not seek to further complicate this law by further analyzing it. All things that Are are loved. Therefore, everything that exists is art. All of life, then, is art.


The peaceful artist sees everyone as an artist. Everyone is creating. Everyone loves their creations, otherwise they would not exist. We are all creating our lives every moment of the day. Therefore, we are all artists.


The peaceful artist is holistic. He strives to create balance in all aspects of his life. He understands that his greatest masterpiece is his own life, and he tends to it with the greatest detail, precision, passion, and love. As we are all the creators of our lives, the peaceful artist knows that we are all creating masterpieces every moment that we are alive, even in troubled times. Each individual masterpiece is all woven into the ultimate masterpiece, the great Tapestry of Creation.


The peaceful artist knows that each fabric of this great Tapestry is equally loved, blessed, and respected by the greater powers of the universe, and he is comfortable and confident in his unique and individual offering to All that Is.
