Life and Art as One

I want to live as this. I am close, but it is hard to build a couch or table out of ones and zeros.

So what am I doing really? What am I really creating? What are all these bits bouncing in front of me.

I recently admitted to a friend that I love roses. I think that they are amazing. What I love most is that they are SO tactile. Thorns, vs. petals.

Have I surrendered a possible merged life by going digital? What do you think?

  1. Very cool. More proof that we are only limited by our imagination. This is true in so many facets of life.

    You have not surrendered a merged life by going digital. Some would say that you’ve merely opened brand new doors available for merger.

    So you’re paint is “bits bouncing in front of me.”

    Poets = stray words pieced together to create beauty.

    Painter = stray colors/shapes pieced together to create beauty.

    Architect = stray bits of molded steel pieced together to create beauty.

    And, so on. Forgive me for simplifying to the nth degree, but my point is made. Ones and zeros are the tools; the screen in front of you the canvas. The gift to merge THOSE elements is from God.

  2. AND you don’t have to wash your hands and clean your tools at the end of the day!
