Art - A Bridge Between Worlds?
July 2, 2007 | 10:32 pm
My musings and an invitation for your thoughts....
Here we are in the world of hard facts. Stuff like matter, physics, time and numbers are all around us and it's understandable that we sometimes think that that's all there is. But there seem to be intangibles, too. Often, what you can't see feels more real than what you can. Truth, love, God and even things like _why_ math works the way it does are harder to explain than material things but don't we all have at least a nagging belief in such "mysteries"? I do.
To me, art fits inbetween these two worlds. Music, poetry, a painting, a good movie - all of these can somehow spark that thing in us that says, "Aha! I know about this." Even if we can't put it into words. It may not be a perfect bridge between the material and the non-material, but I believe art is one of the tools we can use to get us from here to there.
What do you think?
