How to be an Artist
By Sark
Stay Loose.
Learn to watch snails.
Plant impossible gardens.
Invite someone dangerous to tea.
Make little signs that say Yes! and post them all over your house.
Make friends with freedom and uncertainty.
Look forward to dreams.
Cry during movies.
Swing as high as you can on a swing set, by moonlight.
Cultivate moods.
Refuse to “be responsible."
Do it for love.
Take lots
of naps.
Give
money away. Do it now. The money will follow.
Believe
in magic.
Laugh a
lot.
Celebrate
every gorgeous moment.
Take moon
baths.
Have wild
imaginings, transformative dreams and perfect calm.
Draw on
the walls.
Read
every day.
Imagine
yourself magic.
Giggle
with children.
Listen to
old people.
Open up.
Dive in.
Be free.
Bless yourself. Drive away fear.
Play with
everything. Entertain your inner child.
You are
innocent. Build a fort with blankets.
Get Wet.
Hug trees.
Write
love letters.
Today’s
gift was to “invite someone dangerous to tea.” Well, it was actually coffee.
And this person wasn’t really dangerous, but very influential. Ahhh! This is positive
reinforcement for living dangerously and maybe inviting another important
person to coffee or even to lunch.
In Giving
and Living Dangerously,
Robin
