Reflection: Light After the Storm

"Art becomes a spiritual process depending upon the degree of commitment that you bring to it. Every experience becomes direct food for your art. Then your art teaches you about life" - Nick Bantock

That is how I feel on this day of reflection. That spiritual benefits such as "insight into life's meaning" accrue from commitment to a purpose. But I always come back to the resolution that I must Live the Moment.  And that focusing one's life energy on the important things through a disciplined, day-by-day journey is one of the keys to happiness, fulfillment, and reaching one's Unique Potential.

The most beautiful and dramatic light in the sky and clouds above comes after a storm.
