Art!

I went to an excellent exhibit today. I had forgotten how much I truly love art. I've gone to exhibits, but with people who do not love art, who were only there for my benefit, supposedly, but rushed things, didn't stop, appreciate, absorb or even attempt to comprehend. I feel ripped off by the people who rushed me, signed, poked fun at the art that was thriving infront of us. I always left feeling disappointed. Today I went, I stopped, I observed, I absorbed, appreciated and even attempted to not just understand but connect.......it was enlivening! I feel alive, excited, buzzing with thought and wonder. A feeling I remember from the first time I saw a Brancusi....one of my favourites. His simple lines, forms and materials...so pure, so beautiful...so peaceful. Today, I declare I will no longer see art with people who mar the experience.......art should always feel like today!!!!!!
