“All that I desire to point out is the general principle that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.” – Oscar Wilde

It seems to me that the greatest art you can create is your own life. Think of the colors that come with your attitude alone. How much more vibrancy can you create in the texture of your world by simply smiling at everyone on your canvas? Think of all of the magnificent shapes of your various relationships. How much depth does the service and friendship you provide bring to the life you are sculpting? Think about the music that is created through your everyday conversation and sharing? What kind of melodious symphony do your words and laughter create in the ears of those who listen? If you never even pick up a pen, paintbrush, or instrument, you are imbued with an enormous capacity to be a brilliant artist simply by appreciating the medium of consciousness and realizing the palette you have to create with.
