What is Art: What is Love
What path are you on? What destination do you seek? What is the sound of one hand clapping? What is enlightenment?
I travel all paths in all directions, to all hierarchies within all depths. I am the path yet don’t need it. A group of musicians play. I join in with my melody. I play my melody over their chords and rhythm. I play across their accompaniment; I play through their chords; under their chords; dive in and out of their chords; I engulf their chords and now they play across, over and through me. I don’t seek enlightenment. Enlightenment simply refers to, or describes my artistic journey of discovery and expression. Enlightenment is not a destiny or a place of your answer. The enlightened never consider enlightenment as they are, the enlightened. They are that which is becoming.
To be a writer or artist is a state of living expression emanating from no ego. The artist never finishes and has never started. The artist is the act of honest expression. The martial arts legend Bruce Lee said of his art, “Martial art means to honestly express yourself”.
That is the definition of any art, writing, music, design or creation. The magic is created as it happens, or as it becomes.
Do not seek deep meanings but let what you express have meaning through what your flow of liveness becomes as it does.
Everything that will ever occur already has and everything that already occurred hasn’t occurred yet and all encompassed happens now. The power is in not seeking that which does not exist. All art expressed is the unheard sound of one hand clapping which never produced sound. The artist simply becomes. Thinking about what you will write or draw is the single greatest hindrance to expressing yourself artistically.
To love another is art from the soul. I cannot stop it. I love someone as expression. Perhaps the love is returned, as to love is an act of becoming. . .

this is really deep… i am mulling it about in my brain right now, trying to form an opinion…
this line is haunting me… i want to make sense of it….
All the lines in this piece are written from my experience in taoism and Zen. Let what you express pour out without consciously “trying” to. Just let it happen on its own:)
“To love another is art from the soul”
Love this line, beautiful!
I could never express to you in words how much it means to me that you chose this very, very special line. I simply cannot believe it, but you did. Thank you Marzie:):):)
Thank you Bobby, much appreciated.
Mariuca: I could never express to you in words how much you mean to me, you are simply beautiful:)
I never read this side of you Bobby…didn’t know you were so well written…only because I have only had experience reading more of your most recent posts…..at this point NOW you have peaked my interest…totally love your style…now I’m gonna have to pick your brain…
Mighty Morgan: Thank you! I have taken a much more tech oriented path lately but it is for a reason. I want to reach a point where I am so prominent that I will have the power to get the attention of those in power. When I reach that point I will share with the world the things I believe are important for humanity.
I am not blogging to make money or to be popular. There is a higher purpose in my goals than that. To get the attention of people and make them listen, I need to be in a position of power myself. Everything I do is part of my vision to help humanity understand things that will benefit us all as a whole
