a chef who was developing a reputation and a following once said to me,

”more important to live your life as art then to focus on your art”

his reasoning was that if we lived your life as art then what we would produce

would be artful and our offerings would be more natural and not forced

i bought that theory at a very good price

i can think artfully, talk artfully, move artfully and work artfully

what an epitaph, ” he lived his life like art”……………………………..wow

something to consider
