We, as a collective people, can't afford to not explore the things that are causing harm to those around us. We -do- owe each other things. To name a few: decency, respect, courage, belief, communication, dare I say love(?). Among many other things, we owe each other the time and space and energy.

I'm of the opinion that questions can be beginning points for exploration. Like -why- do I think X or Y or Z about this person/these people? Where did that belief come from? What cultivated it? Who does it benefit? All beginning points. It's hard. But the point is to begin.

I’m not engaging with art on an output level. I don’t care how fast the machine does a thing or how many paintings or books the machine can produce. I’m looking at art as the creative evidence of human creativity and depth. If a machine does it instead, it says nothing to me. It means nothing.

If the world is going to continually take our breath away, joy should also be a reason. Healing should also be a reason.
