Just ART and keep on ARTING

Art is from base ar- fit together, join (see arm). 
Ger. art – manner, mode. 
Armenian arnam – make. 
L. artus – joint.
artizen – to prepare


I’m getting the idea that ART is very much about the doing… and not something that is finished.  
When i fit together, prepare, make, and create… i ART. 
THat stuff that i hang on the wall is what is left-over from art.
Everyone ARTs.
If i am viewing ART, then i’m watching the… making, preparing, and putting together.
While i am writing this post i am ARTing.
I like to ART paint on canvas.
I also like to ART food for eating.
I even like to ART sheets and covers on my bed for sleeping.

FEEL

i have finally come to the conclusion that my main forms of communication are the visual, touch, and words few and simple. i like to be able to involve the heart within my communication. i am now certain that the only way to involve the heart is to listen and live together with God.

I NOTICED THAT…

My faith is a matter of the heart. I am realizing that living out of this faith is better than writing about it. And if i am going to write, it is much better to write to God. The writing is mainly to try and process thoughts, but it also feels like a prayer. It would probably be better to write my pondering onto paper, as it is not something that is meant to guide anyone in their faith. With that thought, i have decided to delete my latest posts along these lines, and maybe some of my older ones as well.

TOGETHER

Not your simple pasta.
White flour, semolina, eggs, water, olive oil
basil, pine nuts, garlic, parmigiano reggiano cheese.
Grapes grown by many, wine made by many, 
sold to many, to be able to buy the beautiful ingredients
Ingredients from people in other places, 
brought to us by a combination of people in other places.
  
All of those people were a part of the preparation of our supper.

BACK TO ONE BLOG

My friend and fellow blogger, Louise, was writing about having more than one blog the other day.  I have done time with one blog and more than one blog. I tend to stay with one most of the time. It’s fun, to me, to play and make more blogs. However i always come to the conclusion, after time that keeping up with more than one is not an easy task. Of course, going back to one blog calls for some new template fun.
