The Natural Art of Life
I have an idea, that the natural art we love is also a part of the art of life. This idea is one that is alive in a lot of people. It can be a good idea, check it out.
At some point along the way to growing up, we find that we have choices to make which can make a difference in what we get out of life. Choose chocolate ice cream, and it tastes like chocolate. Choose chocolate all the time, and you will never know what anyone means by Cherry Garcia, for example.
Certain people and events help define us. We all had parents who did a lot of the choosing of events, and that time is long past. There is the point in the natural art of life when one might have a midlife examination, or as someone once sang “Is that all there is?”. The map we have is where we have been. We principally put ourselves right there on that map, and we may need a bit of adjustment to see new horizons.
Choices of this Natural Art
We can begin to grasp life as an open story or as a natural art, where there are open choices, more than on the current menu, one might just have to go to a different diner to see new choices. Ah, but why take the risk? With new experiences, we become worldly, of the world of ourselves, what we can enjoy newly, and wise in ways of knowing about more places on the map of ourselves.
So there is doing the safe and same, over and over until the dust settles on our bones. There is also the trying new flavors of ice cream or life, new ideas and and new adventures. Some will be great and some will not work out. You will be wiser for the knowing. In this knowing, you will have new things you like, and possibly love, and you will have the experience our own life muscle, in the natural art of living.
