Brilliant, David. A life of creating and expressing beauty is inherent to everyone, though we are socialized for it to not be so. There is beauty and focused awareness in car mechanics, though some of us perceive it only through filters of grease and endless bits of stuff to be catalogued. Our true filters serve the inner voice of what is non-negotiable.Learning to serve that voice is the first of those musts. Engine assembly, musical instrument, movement arts, or words, we all express other elements until our path asserts itself through us... or we invite it full tilt. Here's to continuing the invitation and opening to what it brings! Thanks for this piece.
