Artist's Comments
Art can be found in "ordinary" life around us.
I once had a professor greet our morning "Philosophy of the Arts" class with excitement about the “snow tunnels” out in the snow covered university grounds. She was disturbed when she mentioned it to her colleagues who did not return her enthusiasm. She ordered us out of the classroom to go explore the beauty in nature up close. This was an object lesson for me to wake up, open my eyes and "really see" life around me - even more, see the beauty that is. There is beauty all around us, in nature, in our relationships, even beautiful composition can be found in a messy room or a pile of papers or even trash at a dump. I'm intrigued by the thought that God can find in our own messy imperfect lives beauty that no one sees or notices. He doesn’t see us as we are, but as we can become - in all of our unrealized potential. In our mess there is beauty waiting to be unveiled. A voice speaks to us or maybe a thought nudges us to look at what is there. If we are willing to be honest we may find the beauty in the mess. |

 reports, 1d 10h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
