What we create and collect tells a story of who we are: Beauty, faith, and desire. Our collections bring us joy and a sense of security. They tie us to others, going beyond our four walls and mindful concerns.

Choice

September 18, 2024 Carl Barnett

The meaning of life is the living of life. The meaning in life is one’s choice of purpose. Choice is the last of the human freedoms, to choose one’s own way, one’s choice of beauty and substance in living our human experience. To choose one’s own perspective of mind is to build a path, and to light a way.

Present Moment

Within the present moment is where we should be living, where we should be planting our seeds for the future coming. It is within this moment now that life truly exists, inspiring the next now and the next, expanding and moving onward as we learn and plan.

The Act Of Doing

The act of doing and sincere poetic word speak volumes to that of the human spirit: digging deep the trenches that document the forward trail.

We are not simply the shell of our bodies, nor structure of our bones, but the essence of our intentions and the markings of our making.

It is this, the inspirational that defines our humanity, prods the will, romances desire.

Living Our Best Lives

August 27, 2024 Carl Barnett

In the realm of living our best lives exists the subject of our dwellings, how we collect art and why. Beauty is a reflection of who we are, what inspires and gives weight to our ephemeral existence. By supporting the makers, creative doers, architects and interior designers, we support ourselves and how we intend to live. Through the creative endeavor, life is deepened, experience broadened.
