Quote of the Day

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. – Picasso

Teresa sent me this quote the other day and I love it. The “dust of everyday life” is the perfect way to describe the drudgery of going through the motions, which seems to be a large part of daily living. So much repetition. So much of the same.

I am working very hard at being in the moment – if I’m washing dishes or making art or whatever. It’s good to live in the moment and be thankful for the ability to wash dishes or whatever mundane thing you’re doing. It’s worthwhile to remember that gratitude is a necessity. And we should be thankful for the ability and tools to wash dishes just as we’re thankful for the tools and ability to make art.

But I want life to extend beyond the “dust of everyday life.”
