I watched a film called Babette's Feast for a course called Discovery and Recognition. It was slow to start, though it made me distantly nostalgic for my roots in Sweden.
However, one of the lines that stuck out to me was, "An artist is never poor."
And my interpretation and reaction to that line is rather telling, I think.
I believe it. Because I think there is more than one kind of wealth - not just physical, but spiritual, emotional, and creative as well.
I have been thinking about my role as an artist in the world, and what I am willing to do, to put up with, in order to give a creative energy to the universe.
I am willing to work other jobs, if it means I can create. I don't need to be materially wealthy, if I am creatively, spiritually, and emotionally fulfilled.
I am not saying that this is an easy path - I tend to go for a challenge though.
And as an artist, I will never be poor.
