"I Fear I am Writing a Requiem for Myself" Mozart
Wednesday is Business Series
Post 9
The sheer brilliance of artists’ soul is the ability to capture the heartbreaking beauty of life in every expression it creates. Mozart is just about as brilliant as artist can ever hope to be. Unless you are willing to put every piece of your soul in your work – don’t bother at all, or don’t call it art. As goodness is pure and only expression of love – art is our chance to represent the image of our soul. As Mozart’s life, his music (the same way) shows us that the soul within you will uplift you to heaven. And everyone else who comes on a journey with you! Each and every time, because true art is timeless.
Art is not a response to the regime we don’t like, nor an act of rebellion. Trust me, rebels don’t come bigger than this hand writing these words to you. But, the art is letting the love out – art is the highest form of loving, and expressing the love inside you. In other words, art is letting our creator use us as the instrument of love: to touch, to move, to uplift, to amaze, to inspire, to give hope, to offer all the love inside one’s soul. Art has to be intensely beautiful, and undoubtedly intelligent – and clear for all to understand – from whichever point in their life they are observing it. Artists’ motivation is like a watermark stitched inside, holding their work together with love.
For those of you who read this and don’t regard yourself artists – an artist doesn’t create for himself, not even because of the gift – but because the artist feels their soul uplifted when they are immersed in creation. And the deeper they dare to go, the more beautiful, clearer and moving the art they produce. Whether the artist shares their work – they are always aware that the art they make doesn’t belong to them, because it is not created for them, but for everyone. The art that we produce through the gift we have – is the ultimate act of love an artist can do. That is why they can’t ever stop creating.
For those of you who read this, and are artists – I invite you to be the brave uplifters, leaders and business people. Let’s teach everyone that real art is an exhilarating experience – let’s help everyone to free their soul to let the love in, and let the love out. Without trying to grasp it and hold on to it. Because it’s there – it always has been and will be there. Love and light and beauty are inside us, and if we give them to the world – they will stay to witness and evidence our soul even when we are not here. If you are creating – give it all you got, my friend. Don’t ever hold back on expressing love you find inside you.
And yes, the one who is teaching us and loving us through the outstanding music he created – and who was never afraid to be immersed in his soul and the love guiding him – he was right – everything we create is our Requiem.
* * * * The Update – 356 Days to Dream * * * *
1.
Today was the quietest day of the project so far. That has something to do with the above post, as I am fully immersed in creating these days as well as our 365 Days to Dream challenge. My real priority in this first part of the challenge is to have several hours each day dedicated to painting, as I am preparing a formal come back series of aquarelle paintings. So, today the flow of art creating just didn’t want to be interrupted. Usually I can think of the project and execute after I finish painting, but today’s painting session was so deep, there was no way I was going to stop and change the activity. I guess that’s artist’s freedom, and I took it. Hopefully, this evening the drawing board and set angle come out and I can start drawing the scale plans.

I am still feeling great and grateful for this project. It’s long before we tip the scale on cataloguing the items, but having started that process makes me feel like I ought to celebrate the victory. Also, being connected with several of you who are joining in with your own challenges has been inspirational for me personally, and we are already working on bringing you updates from our friends, so that you can feel everyone’s energy connected with the progress we are making.

Tomorrow will be the bigger day for the project work, as I balance it out with today. I do want to stay on target with cataloguing 10 items each day. No doubt, as I grow the catalogue and publicise it further that some interest will grow as to how I did it, so I might write a bit more about the process. Still, for me the challenging part is letting go of the things I can’t keep. Once I make that decision, then everything else, no matter how time consuming – has all of my commitment behind the decision. It’s just executing and I am no longer emotionally attached. Looking forward to meeting with you here tomorrow.
