The great social experiment: art and love

The GSE for short. I believe that the energy you share with the universe is the energy you get in return. For 2009, I started to think about ways I could manifest beauty in my own life. I thought how great it would be to create little pieces of art to randomly pass out to strangers I find intriguing or beautiful in some way, and document the process ,or, hide pieces of art for random strangers to find. What an excellent way to spread love and beauty and perhaps, meet some interesting new people! So here I am spreading some art, beauty and love and blogging about it. If I gave you a piece of art, or if you found a piece of art, enjoy! Please feel free to leave a comment, suggestion, criticism or supportive or loving words. Cheers to an interesting 2009!

Modifications and Meaningful Encounters

I love the idea of writing goals and posting them. It works well for keeping me disciplined in creating art. I easily get lost or distracted so a little structure is always welcomed. While having goals is a very good thing for creating art, I don't think having goals for distributing the cards makes sense. Today is the 6th and I wrote that I would pass out all 6 by today. I could have them all given away by today if I didn't care if the encounters were meaningful, but I do. Since Monday, I haven't had any opportunities to pass out art.

Rethinking this goal is in order. How can I possibly predict how many people will intrigue me? It's important to me that every card I pass out is done in a purposeful and meaningful way. Attraction is organic. You can't plan it or manipulate it. So, I will no longer make goals for how many cards I will pass out, but I will make goals for creating opportunities where cards could be distributed and continue to make goals for creating the art.

Next goal: Creating opportunities- head out to the Goodfoot on Saturday and enjoy some bluegrass, drinks and dance my ass off and pass out cards if it feels right.
