Of All My Senses I Would Never Give Up Sight

I feel myself yearning and itching to do something creative. Recently I haven't had much time for photography, writing, or any of the other mediums of art I enjoy. Nothing I do is super amazing but I always feel a sense of satisfaction when I finish something I set out to do. The other day I found some of my old writings and needless to say I was surprised at the potency of certain parts of each of the different pieces.

I miss going out around to different places and photographing things I see. Looking through the lens of a camera has always felt like looking into a window into another world maybe even my own soul. It blocks out everything else except what you want to see and for a brief moment nothing else exists except what the camera lets you see.

If there is one thing I wish I could do it is paint. To me there is nothing more beautiful than a canvas painted by the masters. I don't imagine myself to ever be that skilled at something but I wish I could capture the colors and beauty of the world around me with brush and paints. Making and mixing colors and having the brush become an extension of myself just seems like a form of poetry that brings you closer to whatever God you chose to believe in or just closer to the world that you're immersed in.
