Creativity in wartime

Hello ArtWalkers. I hope everyone is doing well, and feeling safe wherever you are. I am going to push “5 Cool Things” back a week due to mental capacity, and ongoing current events with Russia and Ukraine. The next newsletter will come out next Friday on 3/4/22.

Art can help heal the soul, and also act as an escape during difficult times. If you currently feel stuck, angry, depressed, perhaps take some time to dive into art that can help your soul. Maybe a playlist or album that can stop time, and send you into a place of comfort. These past few days have truly been shocking to me, and has left me feeling helpless for the people of Ukraine. I do not feel like creating during times like this. I should not be felt sorry for. That is not the point. All attention should be placed into figuring out a way to resolve an egomaniac’s demands, and help innocent people from dying, and being displaced from their homes, and fleeing into neighboring countries.

I will be releasing a new podcast episode in the coming days, that was recorded earlier this week. That is what I can offer at this time. And my ongoing support for Ukraine.

Be safe out there. Love each other. And never take our lives here in the United States for granted, regardless of how divided everyone seems currently. Perhaps this is a wake up call that can remind us to be human to each other again.

Peace.
