Thomas Hart Benton Paint and Harmonica

Thomas Hart Benton, in addition to being one of the great American artists, also developed the notation system still used today for harmonica. It seems creative sorts often have their fingers in lots of pies. I’m not sure why that is, but it is proven time and again. Think about how often you hear of actors who also paint, or singers who write books.

The question is how does one find time for all these pursuits. I dabble in lots of creative areas, but have difficulty figuring out where I should focus my energies. Ultimately, we only have so much time and energy and we should make the most of it by doing what we’re best at. The problem is that I’m not sure what that is.

Perhaps one of these days that will become clear. In the meantime, I suppose I’ll just rejoice in the blessing of variety.
