Intuitive Ways Of Living



“The way we live is intuitive: our needs, wants, and desires.”

The way we live is intuitive: our needs, wants, and desires. What we create and collect reflects this, it’s an intimacy with the self, and those with whom we are surrounded. A means to ease the mind and body, bringing solace and beauty to our living. This is where we are in this era, a need for solace and clarity, to see who we are, and who we are not. To pause and see the bigger picture, and where we sit within it: who we are, and where we are going.

“History is a woven line that binds all cultures, each with its own particular tradition of raising children and living life.”

History is memory, document, and genetic coding, held in the mind and body, informing what we think, feel, and physically do. We are tied to history by traditions and our childhood, the way our parents raised us, how they were raised, what was collected, and what we collect. History is a woven line that binds all cultures, each with its own particular tradition of raising children and living life. Viewed from a bigger perspective, one sees the underlying thread that binds: our universal desire for purpose, meaning, beauty and joy.

“We are creators and collectors, living our lives, building our futures, and correcting our wrongs.” 

NOURISH Gallery | Laura Kastin

We are by nature, curious collectors, seeking beauty and purpose in life. Perpetual in behavior, we will always be gatherers, in groups, and of things, finding comfort in the like-minded, and objects of beauty. Archeologists often find cities of gridded stone walls, full of objects created, collected, and used. This will always be, our human document, whether on Earth or deeper into the universe of stars. 

We are creators and collectors, living our lives, building our futures, and correcting our wrongs. 

“Our ways of living are intuitive, brought from the gut and your traditions of history. When we are mindful, we know what brings us joy and expand upon it, smoothing our passing forward. Life is difficult, our time here finite, to create change and beauty as life allows builds lasting results for generations to come.”

 
 
 

The Creative Beacon



“The future is open, so should our minds be, allowing creation to expand, bloom and flourish.”

Through time, determination, and the creative endeavor, life can be altered, swayed to a better direction through the trials of being human. It is the creative mind that is our beacon, aligned with technology or on its own. The future is open, so should our minds be, allowing creation to expand, bloom and flourish.

“Creativity is the voice of intuition, who we are, born from the belly of divine energy.”

Creativity is the voice of intuition, who we are, born from the belly of divine energy. The way we live now is built from the creative mind, and the future continues to demand more from us. In order to change, we must create, through biodiversity, sustainability, and fewer better things.

The universe is our continuous exploration, so too ourselves and all we create. This is who we are, our human nature, curious towards knowledge, beauty, and what the future may hold.

“We are, through centuries of evolution, creators of forward vision, while simultaneously dogmatic in doctrine, pushing and pulling at what we desire the future to be.”

 
 

We Are Dust And Starlight


“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

“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.”

NOURISH Gallery | LIadain Warwick Smith | SENTIENT

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

“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.
