We Are Dust And Starlight

January 24, 2022 Carl Barnett

“Within the creative arenas are the seeds of possibility, easing life forward through the salve of beauty and our beautiful mind.”

We are, despite our willfulness, on a path of back and forth and side to side. This is the consequence of time, memory, and mindset, the reality of being human and living contemporary lives. But it is through the creative endeavor we thrive, resolving and inspiring purposeful living, easing our way onward as we try and try again.

Within the creative arenas are the seeds of possibility, easing life forward through the salve of beauty and our beautiful mind. Through centuries of creating we have built countries and great cities, flying through the clouds and now scattered stars. We’ve pushed the Earth towards its limit, as we continue to discover ours: creating beauty and seeing who we are.

“We are not gods, we are dust and starlight, capable of light and the dullness of an indoctrinated mind.”

It is our nature to be fallible, and to learn, to fall to our knees and build wings. If we can destroy inadvertently, we can resolve intentionally, through the creative mind and physical drive. We are not gods, we are dust and starlight, capable of light and the dullness of an indoctrinated mind.

We are the children of unbridled energy, the destructive hurricane, and the birdsong within.

We are the trees and the fire starter.

Natural Creation

January 16, 2022 Carl Barnett

“We are a part of starlight, dust, stone, and weeds: a bigger picture, that dwells within and around us.”

At some point in time, we separated ourselves from nature, perhaps at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, where Earth became product and humankind, its seller. We are, however selling ourselves, as we are of nature and nature of us. We are a part of starlight, dust, stone, and weeds: a bigger picture, that dwells within and around us.

“We are energy and nature, small within the limits of time aloud, captive within the circle of enigmatic life.”

Nature enables us to pause, see, sense, and touch. This is inherent to all things created: being human, within a universe that continues to create. It is within the creative endeavor, that we come in contact with our truest selves, a spark of energy that echoes through centuries of time, people, places, and natural things. We are energy and nature, small within the limits of time aloud, captive within the circle of enigmatic life.

We are part of a mysterious system that creates and destroys itself, expanding and contracting, writing and rewriting.

“We are made from the stars and of beauty, our way forward is to merely do, and to merely, be.”

The Creative Idea Expands

December 29, 2021 Carl Barnett

“It is, and will always be this, that touches beyond skin, bone, and blood.”

The creative idea expands into the lives of others, consuming and igniting desire, possibility, and our need to express: to be seen, to be heard, to be loved. It is through the creative mind we map our way, shine a light on needs and wants, ease our sorrows and feed our yearning for the new and blossoming tomorrows. It is, and will always be this, that touches beyond skin, bone, and blood.

Life Is Illuminated

December 16, 2021 Carl Barnett

“It is through the creative mind that we are uplifted, shown the way through inspiring light.”

Through the creative mind, life is illuminated. This is why one supports the makers, hires an interior designer, buys the books, and listens to a song on repeat. It is through the creative mind that we are uplifted, shown the way through inspiring light. By supporting the creators, we support ourselves, a circular motion of living fuller lives.

We Are Uplifted

December 11, 2021 Carl Barnett

“Through supporting the creators, be it art, design or literature, we celebrate and support who we are and where we are going.”

**NOURISH Gallery** **| Laura Kastin | Carl Barnett**

Through the creative endeavor we are lifted, if not temporarily, to see who we are and where we are, to view possibility, and thrive. This is our intuitive selves expressing: our needs, wants and fears. It is I believe, through the creative endeavor that we are elevated to our higher good. Through supporting the creators, be it art, design or literature, we celebrate and support who we are and where we are going.

“There’s a connection between maker and collector that the created object speaks, a language of beauty, a conversation of purpose.”

It is through the creative mind we rise: objects spaces and words. Here is where possibility flourishes and life is eased. There is a connection between maker and collector that the created object speaks, a language of beauty, a conversation of purpose. By supporting the makers we support our selves and those within our intimate circles, uplifting and inspiring meaningful living.
