It’s as if you mind melded with me! Like Mr. Spock. In person who never wanted to write or create art. But later in life finding myself in that place. At 82 now after 15 years of caregiving for my husband who passed away. Now facing my own health challenge.
Who to care for the art and writing. Oh yes! Sacred!
I have a lovely book given to me on the art of the Inuit. Of being so sophisticated. Compared to western art.

I simply don't have this same view of art as sacred, i can be a tricky space theologically. . That being said I love the British museum to see the Cyrus Cylinder and rejoice at its news. To see the stand with the ram stuck in the thorn bush from Ur to exegete. To see the models of Middle Kingdom houses and better imagine the lives of my ancestors there.
Though I did marvel at the early modern automotons and clocks as well as the intricacy of the anglo Saxon and viking jewelry.

It is easy to get off track from the meaning/ purpose of things in this AI world.
Yes, true!
I’m 82. I needed to read this today. The art and writing coming through me. A mystery. My children. Now all grown up
