I saw this article posted on phinnia's lj. It made me weep. I cry for each and every person out there who has no time for beauty. As the article suggests at one point, they are indeed ghosts. I feel that it is less important to be cogs in the many money-making machines than it is to really, honestly live.

Shakes head..

I rightly have to just shake my head and laugh at stuff like this. half of me is astonished at the totality of the point it makes, half of me is not at all surprised. think of all the people that walked by artwork in and around our hall in college. people walking by the galleries showing multi-national artists who were hailed in many ways as genius. even to them it was more an inconvenience to stop and look and learn.

and this is not some inanimate object. it's something alive, moving, penetrating the crowd with it's sound. and still they pass by. lol. i hope every person working out there that see's it takes it as a robust 'slap in the face' and starts to think about what they missed.

or what they're still missing.

For me, it also underscores just how rare are the folks who can and do make the appreciation of beauty and life a priority. To bad I haven't yet figured out how to make a modest living at it. :) Ah well, I'd rather live vibrantly and die poor than be another walking ghost.
