About this blog:

Years ago, my sister and I went to see the Darjeeling Limited in theater. Afterwards, we were talking about the movie and about our love for creating art. We shared a similar problem: we put our art last to the business of our lives and thus hardly ever made time to create anything. My sister suggested that we make a commitment to create a piece of art every week. She jokingly said "Can we agree to that?" in reference to the line Owen Wilson used repeatedly in the movie.
Although I tried at first to stick to our commitment, I've lapsed into not making time to create. I'm hoping this blog will help me rededicate time to that purpose.

Outwardly Wasting Away 5/5/12

Sometimes I think I put a lot of pressure on myself to make art that has meaning and significance.  Then when I'm feeling uninspired, I will not make anything even though I probably would benefit from the time spent being creative.  Perhaps in these times, it's good to remember that there is beauty in simplicity and that just making something is better than nothing at all.  This week was like that.
"So we do not lose heart.  Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.  For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
