“There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.” – Vincent Van Gogh
It’s no easy task, and it does take great skill and commitment to love those around you. Also, it takes a boldness that can at times feel distant. And I’m not only talking about the kind of love that leaves you breathless in a hallway.
Here’s the thing: when we learn to write, we have to take time to learn from the greats. Learning to love asks the same thing of us. Like any art, we have to stop and take time to learn how to love. It doesn’t have to be in the dark and all alone; we have excellent teachers who left guides for us on how to love. Some of them are still here.
Here’s the kicker: at the end of the day, the canvas of life is ours.
We have full permission to paint in detail with love and admiration as our mediums.
The best part is that we get to decide how that looks.
When’s the last time you picked up a paintbrush?
