PS 1 (Public School #1)

A Testimony.  
Being an artist, by that I mean that one chooses daily to physically involve oneself in the act of creating art, is so much more rewarding than making art.  By the one you are producing something, by the other you are choosing to live in personal, sustained, prolonged collaboration with The Creator of the idea of creation.  This choice to “be” comes with joy of the “being with”; the other is more often than not just hard physical labor, mostly the grunt. 


This “being with” is not making, it is a gentle settling of yourself to quietly and sincerely see how He is always offering you artistic intersections between Him and you.  It is the assurance that He does this just for you and Him to be in relationship, His overwhelming genius and your smiling gratefulness.  The thankfulness of knowing He continually creates for the purpose of being in relationship with you, a relationship that is often, more than anything else, educational.
