Re: Get off of GC right now!

My writing is a catharsis for me. But, since other's get to enjoy the feelings I have and had, that's even better. I hope other people here get as much fun out of reading my yammering as you do. Thank you for your compliments.

What better way to enjoy life than to experience what joys others have had that we cannot or have not yet had? This, then, is art. Still imagery, motion imagery, sounds, shapes, smells, touches, and (off topic only in the usual sense) tastes: there are five senses in which we may communicate directly, but indirectly there are other ways. For example, combinations of the different forms of art: listening to good music while looking at a couple bronze statues of children playing in a real garden. Close your eyes and imagine the air about you filled with aromas of the warm, breathing earth, the tufts of sweet perfume rising from the nearby flowers, the touch of mist against your face, or even the touch of some little girl's fingers in your hand as you both sit upon a bench briefly sharing this art together. Don't think of just my words but of the event I describe. Would this not make a great memory using more than one sense at a time?

Complicated words placed carefully together can, at times, come close to simulating the effect of actually living the art experience.

Since I cannot make love with a young partner any more, I write about it. Catharsis, as I have said.
