As I write this I am watching BB King play in a concert honoring him. (Its on TV I'm not there) The concert is something to behold. I don't really enjoy the blues, i don't understand the different runs and musical things that are going on. Yet, there is something in watching BB play that guitar. It is effortless and beautiful. While others look like they are lifting a boulder when they play their instruments BB looks effortless. I'm sure that their has been days where he couldn't get the guitar to do what he wanted. He has probably has had guitar cables go out on him. He has probably been booed and walked out on. But to watch a man that is the pinnacle of his craft is beautiful. He makes it look so easy I almost think that I could play the guitar. Unfortunatly, I know this to be false I cant, I'm terrible. But his love and perfection of his art makes me what to participate in his art.
What is you "art"? What do you do well? So well that it might seem that you aren't putting effort into it. What do you do that inspires others to try and do it? Is it the way you teach, mentor, create, give announcements, or recruit volunteers? Find your Art! Protect it! Explore It! Improve it!
