My Heart Craves to Create!

Upon reading "The Alchemist" I realized my personal legacy. My heart all summer has been craving to weave, to paint, to CREATE! I have had cravings in the past to make art, but nothing like recent. My eyes, my mind, my hand, my SENSES all have been wanting to be creative, but I haven't allowed it. All because I either didn't have the facility to do it, or I was traveling some where. Reading the Alchemist though made me realize that if you don't listen to your heart your heart will stop specking to you, and soon an unhappy life will be lived. Luckily I only have a few days left working at the country club, and then I can dive into fulfilling my personal legacy. Working on making art!
As an artist who is always questioning things. I asked myself "if manifesting makes my heart happy, why is it that I create decaying objects?" Pondering the thought all day and pulling out past thoughts about work; I realized that I choose this because it reminds me that to be grateful for the small things. Things like time, senses and the material things that we do posses.
The stars are alining so that my personal legacy can be fulfilled. Chrissy Day has told me "to do whatever it takes to keep your art alive." This has stuck with me ever since she said it, and after reading the Alchemist it is going to stick with me even more. Do whatever it takes to fulfill your personal legacy. Thus far in my life I have been given the tools and the know how to create anyway I choose. I just need to create from here on out.
