"...lend your ears to music, open your eyes to painting, and... stop thinking! Just ask yourself whether the work has enabled you to "walk about" into a hitherto unknown world. If the answer is yes, what more do you want?" -Kandinsky, 1910
Kandinsky some how was way before his time. I find that this quote is especially true today. People are too busy running from event to event, or errand to errand, to enjoy the beauty that surrounds us everyday. To hear and appreciate the sounds of nature, the wind blowing by, the birds singing, or even just looking at the beauty around us. It upsets me to think that children don't go outside and play anymore like we used to. They are inside now on computers all caught up on social networking sites, or chatting with their friends. Why not go outside and play on the playground...
We need to take the time to enjoy the arts, and not only that but enjoy the beauty around us. So take a little time today and enjoy the view around you and the art in your everyday.
