We change the world little bit just by living in it. The body does it's labor whether or not we give any thought to what it's doing. We can never be completely at rest and still have the experience of LIFE. The act of putting food into your mouth, chewing and swallowing is mindful labor. We need to Eat in order to Work, and Work in order to Eat. Nobody is going to offer us any form of compensation for doing this kind of work, our reward is our survival.
Anything that we imagine, we might be able to give form to, but all form is based upon the STUFF. We can neither create or destroy the STUFF, we can only alter it's organization and form.
Any thing formed or reorganized by the hand of humanity should be considered a work of ART.
Some ART is made simply to express beauty, some ART is made to be a functional tool or implement. Some ART will express both beauty and function.
I enjoy having both beautiful and functional things in my environment. I like to organize the stuff that I have in an artful way, because it pleases me to do so.
