Let us not ruin this new opportunity for far-reaching cultural change. Let's get serious.
In a time of pause, many voices still don't shut up. They still want to dominate, they still want to gripe and point the finger at others. They are there at the barricades waiting to burst through the current restrictions placed upon their bodies.
But for many it is a time for much needed introspection and shifting from the addiction to entertainment, attention-seeking and instant gratification.
We have been asked, every one of us, to change our habits, to stop what we have been doing, in order to protect the collective good.
We are working together, we are co-operating, we are acknowledging our interdependence. It is beautiful to witness. People are noticing others because they have to physically stay distant from them. People have slowed down because they have to be aware of their actions. In the space created, kindness and consideration and thoughtfulness appear.
Isolation can do a lot of good for people. We can begin to reach into our inner resourcefulness, our inner creativity.
We are all creative and we are all able to adapt. That is how we have come to have such a huge impact on our habitat.
So now that we are all experiencing this together we can enhance our creativity for the good of all.
Artists are people who choose to devote a large part of their lives to creative expression. A true artist does not do this because they want to be rich or famous or special. A true artist not only produces works of art, but a different way to be human. They practice not just art production but new ways of seeing, being, feeling, and relating to the world and others.
