YOU DON'T NEED PERMISSION TO MAKE ART!
Dear Ones —
I wanted to share this article about my dear friend John Morse — an artist who is one of the most creative souls I have ever met. He decided recently that he wanted to have a piece of his artwork at the Guggenheim Museum…so he just installed some art himself, without asking permission…and all in the most charming and delightful way: By dressing up his friends in the color spectrum of the rainbow, and just having them walk around the museum, making people happy.
I love this man's spirit!
Go make art in the world, people!

My lowest self says: "That person is acting like a total jerk!"
My slightly higher self says: "That person is acting like a total jerk right now only because he's going through a really hard time in life, and his parents never taught him how to behave better, and he might have some sort of mild mental illness, and also he has a drinking problem…so I should try to be more compassionate and generous toward sad, tragic, miserable people like that."
My even higher self says: "We are all just flawed and frightened human beings in an uncertain world, struggling to survive."
Then finally my VERY highest self says: "Lord, please help me stop acting like a total jerk."
…and that's when it finally stops being about the other person at all.
Have a beautiful Saturday, friends!
Aim high,
