I have, or had, depending on your
time frame, an art series on www.kickstarter.com, a crowdfunding site. This project
in economic terms has been a dismal failure. Why? There are likely many reasons.
I think two primary ones are; lack of understanding of the mechanics of Social
Media, and my own lack of understanding about my own message. My project title
is “Sports – A Celebration of Life”, the link is here: http://kck.st/Q1b8tI
This failure is what caused me to
think much deeper about what I was actually trying to accomplish. As it turns
out, sports were just the tip of the iceberg. On Thursday afternoon, November
29th, 2012 the light bulb came on. All of my philosophizing and
study of love, life, spirituality, meditation, and physics came to this
conclusion: we are meant to experience life and grow love, and help others to
the same. It logically followed that my way of doing this is to be alive
myself, and to do art I can do, and this could be done by creating art that
celebrates the moments when we are most alive. I am not creating this blog
because I have all the answers. I believe that this endeavor will be as much as
an exploration of who I am and what is the meaning of life for me. In this I am
not an island, and your feedback is welcome.
As I write this I have no idea what
my professional and economic future looks like. To this point in my life I
always had a pretty solid plan, a way to work for predictable outcomes. This is
no longer the case. I am operating purely on the intuitive notion that this is
the right thing for me to do at this time. I hope to do what I can, live in the
moment, and let the path unfold as it will.
