"The Art of Living T"

  preface  

reneereyes.com is dedicating to sharing my experiences with transgenderism. Through this exchange, I hope others will find improved routes to happiness. My path has been a bit "wayward" at times. 

This manifesto represents the basis for much of the "light" that shown me clear of life's darkest tunnels. Perhaps it can brighten your way as well.

It's been said "the eyes are the mirrors to the soul". If that's true, these "words" represent my eyes. Beneath them, you'll discover my very essence for living - my soul.

adventures of a living artist  

I love art. As an avid art "collector" - I've come to appreciate the power - of "self expression". Unfortunately, I can't even draw a circle - let alone "sculpt" a monument. Thus, I "express" my artistic tendencies through the way I live - "my life".

Part of this "artistic expression" is sharing my "art" with others. How? By sharing the unique experiences coloring my life's canvas - each and every day I live. Some of my work is vibrant - full of lively colors. I tend to adore these areas of my canvas. Others are "dark" - often sardonic - and less appealing "visually" than their glowing counterparts. Collectively, all the pigments - are me. Thus, I treasure each one - as part of the "total picture" they illuminate.

My art is forever evolving. However, I've painted long enough to recognize a few characteristics of my style. For instance: I sometimes paint over an area - as I develop improved skills and insights as a "life painter". Still, most of the original pigments are there - whether in full view - or buried beneath a recent coat of fresh paint. 

my living art 

I call myself a living artist - one of billions painting a life here on earth. I happen to believe all "people" are living artists - even if they don't embrace "their renderings" as artistic. 

My greatest artistic challenge is "comprehending" - the simplest of questions. I find these little jewels profound. " Who am I?" "Where am I from?" "Where am I going?" These topics have perplexed more than one human over the centuries. They still confuse me. 

I'm sure many of you have already colored areas I'm just now sketching. Thus, you might enjoy a pleasant - even humorous - trip down memory lane by reviewing "my canvas". Others might still be formulating their artistic compositions - and discover fresh ideas to help exhibit their “image".

Most experts would say the greatest artists - became great - because they were able to manifest there visions on a singular canvas. I believe the best artists are still alive - living their art - all around us.
