To be an artist, it is not necessary to make a living from our creations.
Nor is it necessary to have work hanging in fine museums
or earn the praise of the mass critics. To be an artist, it is necessary
to live with our eyes wide open, to breathe the colors of the mountain and sky,
to know the sound of leaves rustling in our bones
and the texture of bark against our skin. It is necessary
to know the sharp smell of snow, to sing when and where we want,
and to quest with joyful fingertips the face of life wherever we find it.
We jump from the cliff and smile at cloud reflections in puddles.
To be an artist
is to notice every beautiful and tragic thing,
to cry freely,
to collect experiences,
and to shape those things into forms
that others can share.
