“Why Art Exists”
The lifelong quest for Belovedness, for Perfection, for God is the attempt to regain the Feeling in the womb, where we were moved – lapped – by the breathing movements of the mother, the All Other.
The Movement – the Pulse,
and the Lilt and the Lullaby.
Music – True Music. And then all the Arts.
All is Dance,
All is Movement.
Great Art can help us to breathe, to move, to her deeply imprinted breathing movements. And so we are reminded of the Feeling, achieving at last, the reunion with the Mother of Perfection.
For the closer we move to the form of the Mother’s breath pulse, the closer we come to Belovedness.
This is the reason for the existence of Art.
(1996)
