"All there will ever be is what's happening here. Decisions we make in this moment are based in either love or fear. So many of us choose our path out of fear, disguised as practicality." (Jim Carrey)
Esoterica: Growing up in our house, we would see some early original lithographic drawings hanging in the hallway near our bedrooms -- fast, loose sketches filled with casual élan. One in particular is of a little girl in knee socks. She's drawn twice on the same page -- a quick exercise, and then a second sketch -- a second chance at crafty effortlessness. In the lower right hand corner is a small, hand-lettered bit of text. It reads: "Love something? Serve it." And underneath is my Dad's signature.
"How will you serve the world? What do they need that you can provide? The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is." (Jim Carrey)
I just recently found out that Jim Carrey is an artist- of Fine Arts, not just comedy. I know many people love him, rant and rave on and on about his comic abilities. I mean, geez, the man is a millionaire several times over from his movies alone- right? But, to me (another person who loves to make people LOL) he is sometimes, well... obnoxious! But, when I found out he picks up brushes, paints, canvases, not to mention creating sculptures (and, no I personally don't really care for a lot of his work), he is a fellow artist, a friend- well,sort of! We artist should stick up for one another. We have a reputation for being sort "weird, strange", or even "off". I've heard the words describing artist as,"out-there, loners, different". So, why not stick together and support one another? Sadly, I have encountered other artist who don't want to support other artist. I have also seen these people,although talented beyond words,ostracized and reaping some of their sown seeds. Let's have fun, share, laugh, throw away jealousy and envy... the trip called life is extremely short!
Thanks Jim, for your art.
We should all take advantage of the possibility,availability and responsibility to create, whether some people like us or not, just do it as our reasonable service!
Blessings,
