Little Things but Mainly, Art

Well, I'm back. I've recently been inspired by some to keep blogging about anything and everything. I hear that people are still interested in reading it, and even if you aren't, I'll keep it up for future personal records. Though it may sometimes turn into a series of ramblings...

I've recently been thinking a lot about art. Art is such a simple word for the vast styles of expression that can be fit into the category. A-R-T. Three letters that hold basically everything! Every smidge of creativity, talent and imagination all fall under those three letters. We are all artists and creators in some way or another. Some people are gifted in the art of what people call 'art' but is really drawing and painting. Others are gifted in the art of hand crafts or building or even cooking, others in music, dance, acting, and the other "Fine arts." And yet, those who are gifted with words are artists as well. The great works of poetry and literature that we all know and love are forms of art as well! People are gifted with kindness and compassion as well. Those people are the ones who always make your day better, no matter what they do! Have you ever thought that this Earth is a piece of art?! Well isn't it? Every kind of art is an expression of the artist and an inspiration to the 'art-viewer.' I'm personally most inspired by music and dance. What kind of art are you inspired by? A beautiful quilt? A gorgeous symphony? A stunning painting? or a spectacular meal?

Well, I must run! But truly, I want to hear what inspires you!
