The Artist’s Manifesto

leave a comment »

I was once asked if I considered myself an artist. And I struggled to respond…
Who is an artist? What is an artist?

But that was back then. Now if you ask me, dare I say, I am!

How can I not be? How can you not be? We all are. We are artists, artists of life. We who have mastered the craft, the craft that is the art of living.
For it is not easy, to make it seem easy, to make it seem gracious. We struggle, we fall, we put ourselves in harm’s way in the name of love.
Yet, through it all, we survive, we are survivors navigating these dark uncertain times.

Now I await the day when we can proclaim we are artists. Poor, desperate and struggling.
