It is not often that I find such words that truly speak to my heart like this. I just had to share this.<\/p>\n
I ran across this quote online, written by Charlotte Erikkson<\/strong>. This is so relevant for all artists, but I certainly see it being very relevant to us all as photographers. You are creating a legacy through your art. Thank you Charlotte for these beautiful insights.<\/p>\n \n \u201c… so this is for us. This is for the times I lose myself and this is for you who write or play or read or sing<\/strong> For it belongs to you Through your spirit. Through the way you talk.<\/strong> Don\u2019t try to present your art by making other people read or hear or see or touch it; make them feel it.<\/p>\n Wear your art like your heart on your sleeve and keep it alive by making people feel a little better. Feel a little lighter.<\/p>\n Create art in order for yourself to become yourself<\/strong> Let your very identity be your book.<\/strong><\/p>\n Let the way people say your name sound like the sweetest melody.<\/strong><\/p>\n So go create.<\/strong><\/p>\n Take photographs in the wood, Make your life be your art<\/strong> -Charlotte Eriksson<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is not often that I find such words that truly speak to my heart like this.

\n<\/strong>
\n This is for us who sing, write, dance, act, study, run and love<\/strong>
\n and this is for doing it even if no one will ever know<\/strong>
\n because the beauty is in the act of doing it.<\/strong>
\n Not what it can lead to.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nwhile writing, singing, playing<\/strong>
\n and no one is around and they will never know<\/strong>
\n but I will forever remember<\/strong>
\n and that shines brighter than any praise
\nor fame or glory I will ever have,<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n by yourself with the light off and door closed<\/strong>
\n when the world is asleep and the stars are aligned<\/strong>
\n and maybe no one will ever hear it<\/strong>
\n or read your words<\/strong>
\n or know your thoughts<\/strong>
\n but it doesn\u2019t make it less glorious.<\/strong>
\n It makes it ethereal. Mysterious.<\/strong>
\n Infinite.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nand whatever God or spirit you believe in<\/strong>
\n and only you can decide how much it meant<\/strong>
\n and means<\/strong>
\n and will forever mean<\/strong>
\n and other people will experience it too<\/strong>
\n through you.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n Through the way you walk and love and laugh and care<\/strong>
\n and I never meant to write this long<\/strong>
\n but what I want to say is:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n and let your very existence be your song, your poem, your story.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nrun alone in the rain
\nand sing your heart out high up on a mountain<\/strong>
\n where no one will ever hear<\/strong>
\n and your very existence will be the most hypnotising scar.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n and you will never be forgotten.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
