Creative expression
I believe that everyone has the natural capacity for some art form. It could be writing, visual arts, theater, design, poetry, music, film, and so many others. The only way to know which voice is yours is to try a few out and see what resonates. It doesn’t have to be a career choice or revenue generator. It can simply be ars gratia artis - art for art sake.
Admiring the work of others is fine as long as we don’t deny our own natural capabilities.

Agreed.
My first chia pet brought out the inner topiarist.

That’s what I mean; everyone can discover something of craft within them. Like the many places in Ireland where people bring song and poetry to pubs nightly. The women in Africa who adorn common housing and dress with fantastic patterns of form and color. Everyone has this in their soul. Blest are those who discover it in this lifetime.
