If “the obstacle is the way”
But the way is art
Then art is the way
And the way becomes art
As do we
Creative thinking overcomes
and who we become in being creative, is an artful way of living.
If the obstacle is the way
Then a sculptor
writer
poet
painter
musician
Says
The obstacle is art
The blank canvas
Empty page
Lump of stone
The unravelled mind
Is waiting to be honed
Into art
The obstacle is merely
a problem to be solved
Artfully
*”The obstacle is the way” is a directive of Roman emperor and stoic Marcus Aurelius. A favourite quote of mine.
“the obstacle is art” is my version of the same philosophy. Because I enjoy tackling things creatively.
