The Clatter Of Keys | 12.28.20
Aristophanes once proclaimed, “Let each man exercise the art he knows best.” I find more truth in this that I can articulate, and I find more importance in it than I probably will explain in this newsletter. I believe, as so many others before me believed, that practice an art, any art, is the whole secret point to our time here on earth. I believe it’s the answer to sanity, to connection to one another, but mostly, to the voice inside our heads. I believe that finding an art that feels like home to you, is one of, if not the most important thing you can do. Art is an escape, but it’s a unification, it’s a healing, but it’s also the very thing that tears your soul open and forces it to grow.
My question to you is this: What art form soothes you? What’s the form of creation that makes you feel alive, that connects you to yourself, and to the world around you? I am genuinely curious here, I want to know what art you make, I want to know where I can see it, hear it, read it, experience it. Art is the answer to the question, and I want to learn. Ring in, what is the art you know?
The clatter of keys,
the soft din of creation.
This the art I know.

I’ve mentioned this before but writing in my journal has become an essential part of my well- being and sanity. Especially now, as I face new turmoil with my closest family, it has become an unbiased listener to my thoughts. It also allows me to work through my emotions so that I can feel better.
But more importantly, it’s a way for me to capture the simple, mundane, but extraordinary moments so that I can return to them later on when I’m feeling down.
Opening up to a blank page and typing on my keyboard feels like home.
I love this post because it gives freedom for all “art”.
I am a very wordy individual and many friends have said “you should write”...sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t...
My art form is doodling...yes doodling!
When I attempt to actually “draw” something - it never comes out right - but there is a connection to the moment when I doodle.
My kids have several of my doodles as bookmarks or wall hangings (yeah, some get really big!). I also have some loose just lying around...I’ll send a few your way 📫
Until then - thank you for sharing your life thru art, Tyler!
