Mind's Eye Re: "A wise man once said."

Do agree that much that is presented as beautiful and received as popular is just a reflection of what speaks to the herd. Spin has become all important in presentation it seems, down to daily conversations in what I have heard you refer to as polite-.ese.  Not sure any of that is transcendent, as it all continues to separate instead of unite. Also agree that your dog's smile is more to the core of it if that is what brings you there.

On might put that the other way round too.  Much 'higher nature' is no such thing and just camouflage of the base.

From my view, the artist and the art bring others to a more integrated, creative sense of self, transcendent of reason or logic.  Magic connotes the primitive aspects of man whereas for me, being led to my higher nature is an important aspect of beauty.  But the difference might just be semantic.

Sometimes it takes imagination to see beauty where others only see the ugly.  It is the ability to look beyond our physical sense and enter that magical world!

I had an opportunity recently to have some of my sayings dissected at an art venue.  (Some of you are aware I am an artist. Sculpture and the like.)  On some of these sculptures I put encryptions or quotations.  I thought I would give it a go here and have them open to rebuttal, critique, agreement etcetera.

Have at it!
