Start Where You Are

Start Where You Are

Start
where you
are.

That's
your
perspective.

Only you see
from
where you are.

This is your
unique point
of view.

No one else sees
exactly
what you see.

Being able
to
communicate

your perspective
is called
having a voice.

Your perspective itself
is called your vision
of the universe.

Your vision
in your voice
is called poetry.

Your poetry
in your medium
of art

or dance
or song
or sculpture

or acting
or film
of technology

is
your
art.

The process
and expression
is your art.

The artifact
of your artistic expression
may be something

you
can
monetize,  

but that
is secondary
to the actual expression.

Being
an
artist

is not glamorous
or fun
or egotistical.

Being
an
artist

is working
on developing yourself
as a human potential

for mental health,  
human intimacy,
and acknowledging

the human condition
of interdependence
and self-reliance

in the face
of a reality
that often seems

overwhelmingly
against
humanity.

Every human being
is
an artist.

Explore
your
creative side.

Reach
beyond your
grasp.

Attain
your
potential,

the you
that dreams
of escaping

the social avatar
of expectations
and outer validation.

Freedom
to be
yourself

is the highest
order
of being.
