    The Art of Life a Discussion
    Dear Fellow Contemporary Fine Artists,

    I would like to have a talk with each of you,
    on the Art of Life..........

    It is in our uniqueness,
    that for each, 'The Dance' is different.
    It is in this uniqueness,
    that we each, are an expression of 'The Wholeness,'
    Whatever meaning, you wish to ascribe to this...
    I would like to know...

    The joy is in the sharing.
    Each one of you I sense are Lights.
    On This Journey... this parenthesis in Eternity,
    We call 'Life'.....
    We needs, bring all the light, we can, to this way.
    Whether you perceive your journey by foot or by boat,
    Whatever locomotion moves you,
    I would like to know....
    .
    Whatever metaphor, brings Your Journey to meaningfulness....
    Whichever tributary you choose,
    In this moment to take You...
    Back to Source.........
    I would like to know...

    What brings you to that place in Creation?
    Where the dance begins; and from deep within,
    a fountain of living water, bubbles up.
    Unfolding in ever new, and more beautiful ways.
    I would like to know..
    I would like to know..

    That we might share our understandings,
    walk in each others shoes,
    grow in love and empathy for our brother/sisters position,
    whatever and wherever that is..
    from a place of unconditional Agape and non judgement
    And share the Joys of this most profound and moving
    experience that we call Life.

    I would Like to know...I would Like to know..

    Each one of you better
    That I may truly call you Friend,
    and in Divine Time,
    Know You, even as You are Known.
    What a Dream...... Who has the courage...
    To Share..........
    I would Love to Know.

    All the Blessings of life to each of you,
    Wherever you are on the Journey.

    Alasdair

    Re^2: The Art of Life a Discussion
    Mona ,

    Thank you for your most intuitive interpretation
    of what I had written.
    We are each creatures of the percept..
    From these perceptions
    we make our evaluations and judgements.

    Yesterday evening I wrote a response to
    Martin Borgschulte of Guitar Cantillation.
    I reflected back to him the perceptions
    he had evoked within himself.

    My philosophy is that art should communicate
    important things about life to all of us.....

    .... "So far as I am concerned the artist is unimportant.
    All I'm doing is holding up a mirror to people and situations.
    It's life itself that's important.".

    Lilian Andree, who responded to a previous article
    understood this.... from her intuitve perception.....
    ...we do indeed see things differently from each other..
    and for most people there is no right way of seeing ..
    ...only their way of seeing.....

    This is primarily based on their social patterning
    and conditioning....
    When a person.. blind from birth
    is given the gift of sight..
    They see only impressions.......

    of colours , patterns, random ,haphazard shapes
    It is so with each of us...
    this I sense is our reality at birth.......
    Our journey is one of discovery.
    each entrusted to create their own reality.
    .
    ....From being prostrate we begin to crawl,
    from crawling to walking....
    from walking to running......there is an inevitableness...
    .... to this physical path on the human journey.
    And so it is with all five of the senses....

    For me it is not all we are.....
    there are other senses...Intuition and Knowing...
    are two of them...
    if we have the awareness..and aspiration, to practice them...
    ...All meaningful life has to be experential....
    I gather knowledge assiduously for the love of it
    but not for its own sake.......

    .Of itself it is as dust .....
    ...If it is not lived, and tested, in this most perfect amphitheatre
    in the fullness of consciousness...
    ...that we call Earth, our physical home in this,
    'parenthesis in eternity', that we call Life.

    This path, this going Home for me is the
    Evolution of human consciousness...
    as we climb the ladder, aiding each other with a kindly handclasp...
    We arrive at a place where we can gain a bit of perspective
    of our journey.... and perceive ...

    ..from our lofty perch...
    "The wide horizons grander view"......
    The climb is so worthwhile when we make it with significant others.....
    I hope I may have the privilege of making a few footholds
    with some of you.
    " For strangers are friends
    that I have not met"....... yet:-))

    Personally I love people as they are....perfect.:-))...
    ...It's me that is the clay needing moulded,
    ...the rough ashlar being shaped.
    Each one of you add to that shape........
    that is our great gift to each other...

    .... how we choose, in the Eternal Now,
    to exercise that gift....is altogether a different matter....
    I choose to celebrate the Divine diversity within each soul.
    That is all I need to know.

    For those brave souls who made it this far,
    I salute you...... for each I vision only, Your Highest and Best........
    ......and not what, I think........... is your highest and best............................:-))..

    Every Blessing on your journeys

    Alasdair

    P.S.
    Mona........

    If you have managed to come this far, a special blessing.
    For you are one of life's inspirational people.
    and its my pleasure to announce it to the minority,
    who have not had the gift of meeting you,
    a very dear, and much appreciated Friend.


    What people perceive in me is unimportant......
    What people perceive of themselves is....
    I am a mirror....
    reflecting back....
    nothing more.....
