Alice Greczyn Instagram – @ryanessmaker reminds me that sometimes you’ve just gotta follow your impulses and forget the storyboards and shot lists. Whether a major motion picture or an Instagram reel, a scribble on a napkin or an oil painting, a clever joke or a stand-up comedy tour, I think we are all artists.
I think making art is one of the most meaningful parts of being alive. Been thinking about this a lot lately: how we die for art, for books we consider holy, for temples we gather in to make music, for dancing in ways that are so beautiful, they become forbidden. Art will always be a threat to our survival because it’s what makes us want to live. That’s something I keep circling in my mind—how our innate creativity is our greatest life source and our greatest threat.
Right now, I feel deeply grateful to have the luxury of making art, of making it with someone I love, and of sharing it freely without fear. You know where to find the rest. Whether the art you make today is a meal, a poem, a joke, or a mere selfie, savor your ability to make it. 💙 | Posted on 13/Oct/2023 01:59:26
