Creating in art for art’s sake while spiriting a viewer away from humdrum realities of the everyday tediums is a fulfilling endeavor.
Art can be an existential exploration of the essence of what it means to be a conceptually capable being.
Imagination, creativity and interpretation of life is human.

Abstract art is a form of #art that does not aim to represent an accurate depiction of visual reality but instead uses shapes, colors and forms to create compositions that may exist independently from real-world references allowing for a range of interpretations and emotional responses from viewers.

Could there be DNA for creativity?
Throughout the history of bipedal humanoids there seems to be a genetic disposition to make representations of imaginings, the earliest being abstractive in nature.
Art may be as integral to a human as are blood and bones and often lasts longer.
Art defines humans.

Got me a git box
and on it I play,
sometimes all night
or
through the dang day.
Got me a git box
it's a trusty ol' friend,
plucking dem strings
making notes truly bend,
loving da joy it brings.
it a rugged, beat-up thing
makes me so darn happy,
sometimes I even sing.

A large study of stage III colon cancer patients showed that regular aerobic exercise, like #cycling, reduced cancer recurrence by 28% and deaths by 37% over eight years.
Cycling was a recommended activity in the study’s program.

Stretched on a couch, handed a large panel and a soft voice requested, "what do you see?"
Staring intently, a rush of considerations flooded the mind.
It seemed as though there was a sense of time travel, skipping, jumping, hither and yon, in an encyclopedia of existential moments, past and distant.
