We are all artists and life is our canvas.
As a painter, I love to do large abstract and impressionistic paintings on canvas. As I stoke on the paint, expending energy as I in return receive energy in an unexplainable exchange, I usually decide within minutes if I will like or dislike the painting. As with life, we have choice. My choices as I paint are much as the choices in life...I can continue the painting and hope it evolves into what I want, or I can change it.
Everyday, we may not have the ability to start a "fresh new canvas", but we have the ability to change; we can paint over the parts, if not all, of what we don't like. The results of these changes, only adds texture and "layering" to our lives, just as I do with a painting. Much of my art is done with the purpose of adding texture and "layers".
How wonderful that each day gives us a chance to enhance our lives with layers of life, painted with emotions, actions and love.
