physics tells us energy can never be destroyed, only transformed. any act of creation draws from the universal pool of energy to re-invest it in your way. invest to witness such creations of loved ones & strangers alike (known & unknown people). it is an extension of this life cycle.
let people contribute for your art from their heart. don’t let the corrupted ideas of money overshadow the purity of such an interaction. art is priceless. getting to know you is priceless and getting to know you through your art is priceless. the contribution doesn’t reveal the actual value of it. that will always be beyond what one can fathom. you really cannot know what tangents can come out of it…
practice it for years and years, till it is normal to invite people to contribute to your and someone else’s art.
