| New Year ! New Beginnings! |
For art to appear, we have to disappear!
This may sound strange, but in fact it is a common experience. The elementary case, for most people, is when our eye or ear is "caught" by something: a tree, a rock, a cloud, a delicate plant, a beautiful person such as your self, a baby's gurgling, spatters of sunlight reflected off some we mud in the forest, the sound of a guitar or violin wafting unexpectedly out of a window.
Mind and sense are arrested for a moment, fully in the experience. Nothing else exists. When we "disappear"
in this way, everything around us becomes a surprise, fresh and New!
