from webster's dictionary:
1. ART n. human ability to make things; creativity of man as distinguished
from the world of nature
2. ART vi. archaic 2d pers. sing., pres. indic., of BE: used with thou
"art" can be a verb. an action. in particular the action of being. i have
always found this fascinating.
in french art is spelled in the same fashion as english.
i was simply conjugating the verb to be in a couple languages and comparing
how those languages linguistically correlate existence (being) with art.
because to me art is life. and i try to live it as such.
enough with such semantic silliness.
i'm hoping to see a bunny on my way to work this evening...
kiwi and guava,
