Each day is unique. Each moment is, in some beautiful subtle way, different from every other. The truth is, contrary to the saying, that each new day, there is everything new under the sun. As creatives, our job is to notice it.
The point of art is to reveal the universal divine through infinite unique filters called humans.
The creative act is a sacred, holy act. Devoting yourself to creating the art only you can create, that which give you joy, is a worshipful act. It is your daily devotional.
Consciousness is the part of God that lives within us. Qualia is the point.
Creativity is the proper release of the darkness, the depression, and the violence that lives within us all. It is a positive release of that chaos that dwells within our own souls as well as serving as a warning to those who experience such art, to guard their own souls. Art allows us to transcend our dark, chaotic, even animalistic nature by going THROUGH the chaos, and thus transmuting it into something uniquely human, something uniquely understood, uniquely beautiful.
