““Art is the proper task of life,”
………………………. —Nietzsche
Inner Life
Art is an essential part of life. Without its depth
and enrichment, our lives would dry like desert dew
at the break of dawn.
Art enhances human experience by offering beauty,
inspiration, and a means to navigate and interpret the
complexities of being, the magic, the mayhem,
and the throbbing mysteries surrounding us.
In the words of Jean-Luc Godard:
Art attracts us only by what it reveals
of our most secret self.
The creative act is an activity of our inner life,
the dominion of spirit over the material world
serving as a metaphysical lens enabling us
to perceive life with greater depth and nuance.
