Written by Andrew Abballe @ A Life of Virtue
The artist retreats into himself
He closes his eyes and surrenders to his imagination
His mind opens a gate to vast inner landscapes
Time collapses, the heavens slowly unfold
The artist loathes mundane ‘everydayness’
He raises his brow at the gossip, trends and fashion of the masses
They are those who walk blindly, who worship false idols;
Who revere fancy things, shiny things, the kind in which envy brings
For the artist, his path is clear
He follows his call towards Truth and Beauty
His pen is the hammer which frees us from the chains of conformity
His art shakes us out of the prison of ‘routine’
His words pull us towards the divine, the sacred
The artist is our liberator
He lights a flame deep within our souls, and
awakens us from our dogmatic slumber
This paves the way towards authenticity and self-actualization
The moment is fleeting yet urgent
We receive our gift
A new way of living,
A new way of being in the world
We scrape away the superficial rot amassed in our souls, and
seize the possibility of true freedom
For in order to find ourselves,
We must first lose ourselves
