There is usually something that we enjoy doing in life. It is not very exciting, but when we find time we enjoy doing it. This particular task that we do, does not really feel like a job or a chore, in fact we love doing it and it makes us calmer. It could be something as simple as gardening, playing a musical instrument, sketching, painting, cycling, or even writing a poem.
There is an art in whatever we do in life, whether it is teaching, cooking, singing, dancing, exercising, writing, playing a musical instrument or writing. The best way to discover the sleeping artist within is to find that one simple thing that makes you happy and is soul satisfying.
I have always loved sketching and it is only after my godson requested me to sketch Spiderman, that I was inspired to do a second sketch a day later. I grew up reading comic books as well as drawing comic book characters. I did send the Spidey sketch to my godson who loved it. Today, I did a sketch from the “Witchblade” series. On completing the sketch and while doing it, I could not help but think to myself, “I love doing this art,” and it brought back memories of me sketching when I was very young, from the Marvel and DC comics that my Dad, would buy me as surprise gifts regularly.
I enjoy sketching and it is something, I have rediscovered after some time and it also has fond memories of my father attached to it, which is just perfect for me, at this time, since Dad passed away two months ago. Discover the artist within, by going back to doing what you enjoy. It is the best way to get soul happiness.
