Daily Divine: The gift of art.

​The other day, I received an enormous package in the mail.
 
It was constructed with the impermeability of a fortress: extra-thick cardboard on the outside, and inside: layers and layers of double-dense foam.
 
We’re not talking the cheap stuff: those puffy pink popcorns that get all over everything, or those wadded up sheets of eco-friendly kraft paper.
 
This was serious foam: waffled and waving and shock-absorbent as can be, like somebody had packed a memory-foam mattress right inside.
 
And oh… inside!
 
For at the center of all this foam was a gift that made me gasp as I maneuvered it out: two gorgeous original pieces of art, beautifully framed.
 
A gift from my oldest daughter’s boyfriend.
His original art.
Art of his own making.
 
I put them on the mantle immediately, and what I noticed right away was this: they right in.
 
They like they’ve been here all the time.
They fit with the same vibe as everything else.
They fit like they’re part of the family.
 
This gift of art that you make yourself, whether you are a great artist or a beginner, whether you have a lot of talent or none, is a gift that carries the energetic signature of the creator.
 
This is why it is so magical.
 
Each brush or pencil stroke, every line or curve or shading, is something that the artist brings into the world: a personal vision of what the Divine provides to the artist as conduit, receiver, channel for the Universe.
 
If you create art for a particular person, this Universal energy is imbued in your art: you are contemplating the person as you create it. For the hours that it takes you to create your art, you are holding that person’s soul in your very hands.
 
If you select art for a particular person, you are also considering them from soul perspective: holding them softly in your awareness, trying to discern which piece will best reveal your Universal connection.
 
Go make some art today, and give it to someone you adore.
It is a gift that connects hearts, every time it is viewed. 

Much love,
