Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. -Rumi
I read a quick Washington Post article on fb this morning. (Sometimes I feel the need to delete that app but for some reason I haven’t yet. Is it FOMO? Maybe, but really, why do I care?!) Back to Rumi and the article. It said that telling people to “find their passion” could be detrimental, they might give up early or blah, blah, blah. But yet I find truth resounding in this article. I’ve been at a stand-still in my pottery career due to the many variables of life. I’ve been meandering. And I suppose that’s what the article was saying, broaden your views to more than a singular “passion”. I need widen the creative road I am on. There are many things that I can cultivate into a thing of beauty or wonder or meaning. And I hold true to my belief that we need more love and beauty all around us.
