That which is done with heart is never haphazard. While not everything is planned, nothing is arbitrary. There is a goal, no matter how far it strays from the beaten path.
Keeping an open mind, does not mean letting everything spill out. You must understand the rules and appreciate them, before deciding to break them. Tear down only in preparation to build.
We live in a world where standards have been tossed by the wayside. Without form, everything falls to ruin. If everyone speaks at the same time, no one will be heard.
Balance what you want with what you need. Those who neglect their responsibilities think they can outrun the wind. But these things have a way of catching up with you.
Without flow, everything grinds to a halt. That which is not balanced, tips over and makes a mess. Both are required to keep things moving in a positive direction.
Not only sound advice for an artist but wisdom to live by! People want or dislike on whim only to miss the forest for all the trees. A lot of gumption and a plans as the means to an end... the recipe for a fulfilling life.
ReplyDeleteThat which is arbitrary is meaningless. The reckless are without focus. Chaos cannot build anything.
DeleteI am big on just letting my creative stuff out as it comes. There was a lot of things I want to say, and I try to say as much as I can in the time I have. It's silly, but sometimes I wish I could do several things at once, but as it turns out, I have to do them one at time and sparse them out in such a way that they don't get twisted. Sometimes you got to just stop what your doing to comment on your friend's blogs.
ReplyDeleteFlow and balance are both necessary. They are like melody and harmony in music. Everything works best when neither is neglected.
