Sublime and the ephemeral

109.  Past




Leading to the beyond
(Note:  In this section I offer 11 reasons that can at least lead one to suspect there is more than just this world.)



Sublime and the ephemeral

4.  As a 20th century Jewish philosopher pointed out, the sublime and ephemeral can lead us to the beyond.  There are certain snapshots of life that are transcendent.  They are more than beauty.  They just are.

I saw a painting and in a small part of it you could see a field with snow falling.  A deep reality was captured, a moment that makes one stop.  Something is triggered inside.  It’s similar to a memory, but with another element seeping through.  In these moments you experience a maker, a beyond, in a real way.  It leads you there.  Dogmas, indoctrinations fall by the wayside during these moments which penetrate us deeply.

Steve,

, by the way have you considered publishing your writings? If you do count me as a buyer of one of the books.



Do not know if you will be attending any of the side events that are scheduled for this week's ArtPalmBeach, but Trina opened a temporary gallery at 312 Clematis Street and is part of the affiliated events.



I'll be there on Saturday putting in some gallery duty, regards.

Great...I've finished editing the writings and will kick out a couple of basic copies of book plus some drawings. after this will publish parts of it and offshoots. step by step.

nice on your interest.




Lately as you know I'm not a social butterfly . Lake Park and Northwood have been too far, but maybe Clematis a possibility this Saturday to see you. What times will you be there?
