Nature And Beauty

June 20, 2023 Carl Barnett

The beauty in life is the meaning we bring to it, the creative languages, nature, those we support, and those we love. Beauty is the salve that vacillates our longevity, supports our will, shines a light for waning hope.

What Matters. Purpose And Beauty.

June 6, 2023 Carl Barnett

In the thick of adversity, one finds what matters, what uplifts and brings us to a place of clarity that eases the way forward. This profundity sheds light upon our darkest times, allowing us to see through the fog of mind and emotion, smoothing the truths of reality so that we may best move on. It is through times of hardships that we find who we are, where we see our strengths and better our weaknesses. To be still within the midst of beauty, be it nature, words or the hand created, provides us with the deepest opportunities of respite and resolve: pulling deep the intuitive universe within.

What matters is within our attention, despite the whirling that may surround us. What matters is what we feel, that matters, what we hold onto and perpetuate in our minds and days of doing. This is not a difficult task, it is held within us, our ability to reason, to see beauty within the ugly, to try and start again. Within our difficulties are the truest pockets of beauty, if only we choose what matters in every moment that we’ve created, stepping back and merely seeing. To capture beauty in the moments that matter stills it to memory, creating fortitude for the long road ahead.

By Nature I Am A Creator And Collector

May 25, 2023 Carl Barnett

By nature, I am a creator and collector, contributor and believer in a bigger picture of purpose. The why before the what, and the meaning in life. It is my strongest belief that through the creative mind and endeavor, we thrive, creating change and easing our ways of being human. This is why we create and collect, to soothe and inform through beauty and the creative languages.

Curiosity Of Forward Thinking

May 21, 2023 Carl Barnett

Why we create and collect tells the story of who we are and where we’re going. The equanimity of living life, and being perfectly imperfect. Our intuitive draw towards beauty, wonder, magic, and our curiosity of forward thinking.

The Creative Arenas Enhance The Ways We Live

May 3, 2023 Carl Barnett

The creative arenas enhance the ways we live. It’s in the books we read, the objects we collect, our music, and the homes we live within.
