All good work has magic in it, and addresses the mind in a subtle way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Magic touches people in the way great art does. It lets them see the world with new eyes.
Yesterday I was thinking about the whole idea of genius and creative people, and the notion that if you create some magical art, somehow that exempts you from having to pay attention to the small things.
Better beware of notions like genius and inspiration; they are a sort of magic wand and should be used sparingly by anybody who wants to see things clearly.
All work done mindfully rounds us out, helps complete us as persons.
I can interpret my own work honestly. And performing by myself seems to focus the attention in the right places.
A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind.
The mark of all good art is not that the thing done is done exactly or finely, for machinery may do as much, but that it is worked out with the head and the workman's heart.
However, some of my work is very subtle, and one should expect very subtle reactions to it.
How or by what magic is it, that we convey our thoughts to one another with such case and accuracy?
Magic is all about directing attention. If I didn't want you to look at my right hand then I don't look at it.
