Art is the human act of doing something that might not work and causing change to happen. Work that matters. For people who care. Not for applause, not for money. But because we can.*
Seth Godin

We didn’t invent story; we discovered it. It was already there because it is the lens through which our brain analyses everything.**
Lisa Cron

We might erroneously believe that some people produce art
whilst others are more practical, and
some of us are into stories
whilst others get on with reality,
But your existence as high-functioning creatures
depends on these;
Story helps us to make sense of everything,
Art is our desire to live life as
embellishment for others –
If what we do makes the world better and
brings in the future,
If it can be continually reimagined and developed,
And gives us joy and fulfilment,
Then we’re likely feeling our art.
