| WHY DO I EXIST? What is my purpose here on this Earth? (photo of Hallelujah Truth by Lisa Alexander Streib in 2014, manipulated by me) |
Today's prompt is about defining my mission as an artist (A mission is always evolving--see my "old" mission statement here). To get to that, the prompt digs deep, asking these two questions:
Why do I exist?
What is my purpose here on this Earth?
Fun questions! Let me introduce myself!

PURPOSE? My purpose here on this Earth? To celebrate my curiosity, traveling the high seas of life, crafting images, connecting and communicating with other Travelers.
What do I want to be remembered for?
REMEMBER ME FOR THIS: When I looked into your eyes, I attempted to SEE YOU. I want to be remembered for BEING PRESENT to this MOMENT, to myself and you without judgement. Remember me for my honesty, courage, curiosity and art making--as THE WITNESS.
What is my short, memorable, inspirational t-shirt message expressing my mission for my creative work?

GRACE MAKING ARTIST--FRIEND ME
DANCING BEING INTO IMAGE
ARTIST WITNESSING YOUR BEAUTY
ART EQUALS ABUNDANCE
As time goes on, I will continue to make images and blog to connect with myself and you. Today, I have presented photographs of the "physical me" taken by Lisa Alexander Streib. I am so thankful for the way she captures the "spiritual me."
