Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” -Thomas Merton
If art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves, I can’t help but think of how life would be if we treated it as a work of art. I don’t know that we ever truly lose ourselves, but continuing to learn to accept the deepest parts of ourselves is art. In a way, that could be considered finding ourselves over and over again.
I personally live my life as if this is my art. That’s what works for me.
What do you think about treating your life as a work of art?

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
