Greetings.
Painting appeals to me because it moves me to an interesting
perspective. Sometimes I move close to an edge, that is, my edge. It's
one thing to talk about it,
it's another to experience it.
I was graced to spend ten days in Madrid. I went to pay homage to
Velazquez and Sorolla. While there I spoke to an interesting man about the
Catholic religion in Spain. He told me they worshipped a the feminine via
Mary and the saints, going to them more often than the male
representatives. It's true, but something felt wrong with this idea. When
I found the words, it was that women were not represented fully.
What would be a word to represent everything-is-connected-to-everything
be? What kind of emotions would it carry? Could it rise above all
religions? What kind of insight might it offer? Would it contain empathy,
compassion, hope, and strength?
I think of archetypes. A meme sounds like some kind of archetype. How
does one loosen a system of SD when it is unhealthy, or of low quality, or
needs to move to a higher level of SD?
Am I making sense to anyone?
MarshaV
P.S. Has anyone read 'The Social Construction of Reality' by Peter L.
Berger and Thomas Luckmann? I've put a strange collection of ideas into my
head. (All this talk of religion has me painting an angel.)
