You’re already it. You’re art...

A couple of months back I was talking with a friend.

I was telling him that I wanted to be surrounded

by art more. I wanted to incorporate more art into my life.

His response to me was:

"Well, I don’t think you need to try so hard to do that.

You’re already it. You’re art."

Our deepest desires are deep within us.

That’s why we yearn for them so heavy.

We are feeling what’s familiar to our being.

We are seeking ourselves.

We use others as mirrors when we are our best mirrors.

Want Love, Be Love.

Want Friendship, Be a Friend.

Want More, Be More.

We don’t need to figure out what to be, just to be.

The hard part is accepting who you are.

What you want, you have. You just have to wake up to it.

The naturally beautiful things of this world

-- flowers, the trees, precious gems, the ocean --

don’t worry about living up to who they are.

They just exist and we revere them.

I am, therefore I am. Ase.
