I'm doing 28 things
I ran across this wise excerpt from one of Hafiz’ poems today:
“Art is the conversation between lovers.
Art offers an opening for the heart.
True art makes the divine silence in the soul
Break into applause.
Art is, at last, the knowledge of
Where we are standing-
Where we are standing
In this Wonderland
When we rip off all our clothes
And this blind man’s patch, veil,
That got tied across our brow.
We are partners straddling the universe.
Someone inside of us
Has one foot
Upon each resplendent pole.
Someone inside of us is now kissing
The hand of God
And wants to share with us
That grand news.
You will find yourself knee-deep in ecstasy
When all your talents to love
Have reached their heights…
...
Art is the conversation between lovers.
True art awakens the
Extraordinary
Ovation.”
I want to make art like this!
