Marta and all -
This is a marvelous article! I cannot even begin to describe the impact it
had on me. I read it this morning after my husband (a.k.a. Dennis) was
rendered quite emotional/speachless (rare indeed) and said read this thing
I'm forwarding to you.
What I can think of to say is I always thought I was awake, aware. I don't
usually run around wondering in a panic "what am I missing?", but I wonder
how much I don't notice as I go along in my day. I don't think this is
particularly about art as much as it is about being awake in life!
Again, it's marvelous, and I think I would love to meet Joshua Bell and
listen to his music.
Oh, boy!

thanks for posting this article...
i enjoyed reading it for several reasons... one of which was remembering
a documentary about yo yo ma... back in the 90's.... all about playing
bach.
in one scene, he's playing on a busy sidewalk in ny city. i'm not
sure, but i sort of remember being bemused by the reactions of people on
the sidewalk.
i do remember really enjoying the documentary... especially a segment
where torville & dean ice skated to a bach piece played my yo yo ma.
makes me want to see it again.
thanks for the memory.. literally.

Thankyou for posting this article, i've forwarded it to LOML...
head down, shoulders hunched, like mules pulling at some millstone... that
was the visual i got. I don't mean to offend anyone by that, I feel for
those people who are too stressed to take a few moments and be touched by
something so beautiful in their midst... That's in part one of the reasons
i do the gratitude journal every night... i end my day by taking stock of
at least 5 things i have to be grateful for or that was beautiful and
offered up by the day... forces me to take note of things, not take them
for granted cause i'll need to write them down later :)
Anne, in Saint-Sauveur where when the snow finally ended yesterday it left
us with 8 more inches of heavy white stuff... Will spring really come?! The
weatherman on Global last night gave up and called it "Weird Weather"...
The snow was so heavy on the power lines our power was out all morning...

With reference to the article on noticing art when lest expected. My
feeling is that we all compartmentilize our life. When we go to a museum we
are geared to see, a concert to hear and going to work is just another
section of life when we wear blinders to avoid distraction so that we will
get there on time and be mentally prepared to do whatever it is that we do.
The unexpected doesn't take precedence - unless it's a tragedy. Mildred

Then there are some of us that notice/find/seek an art/aesthetic in
everything we
see and do. Some of us try & are able to find it even in the worst
circumstances.

An example: Last weekend tornado sirens woke me up from a
nap. The eerie wail from different directions sounded like a
war movie. Wind-driven rain pelted the roof and windows.
I went outside and looked for tornadoes. The light had a
yellowish cast, and gray clouds sped by overhead. The sky
was exquisite, something out of a painting. Yet it felt
deadly.

My dogs have really helped me take time in nature. Lately, I have
been photographing flowering "weeds" during my walks with Kintaro
along the river. You can see some of the photos here:
