The eye of the beholder; that’s come up before. Let’s revisit that David Hume article before he gets cancelled. There was a lot of connections in that one if I remember correctly. Edinburgh, Metallica, my walk with JM, the Slough Feg story. ‘Beauty in things exist in the mind which contemplates them’, that’s the quote, and it’s a belter. And that is why things can be so wonderfully subjective, how one person can see the beauty while another cannot. While one person’s noise is another Beethoven. Someone’s child’s scrawl is another’s Rembrandt.
‘Turning the importance of the artwork from the artist to the viewer’. There, I just quoted myself and David Hume in the same article. What an ego! Details are necessary. Use your eyes like a child would, full of learning and wonder and new experience and hope. Let’s not forget hope. Hope can be seen as a bad thing, for too much hoping gets in the way of actual doing. Hoping you win the lottery isn’t going to make you win it. Buying the ticket might give you hope, but much better is to attain the financial leverage you need to not need to hope on the lottery. A mixed bag of thoughts today. Still windy, a strange mood, yesterday was tough. The woods call this morning, which is good.
