Artfulness…Art as Awareness

Artfulness…Is Art a form of Awareness?

Awareness…Do we become Aware of Art?

Does it take Awareness to form Art?

Does Art form Awareness?

Artfulness is a state of mind where we become Aware of Art…

Thus our Artfulness expands our Awareness that expands our Artfulness…

Where we come full circle just to repeat our creativity as infinity.

Two Monkeys of Brueghel

In the window he does keep two monkeys chained to the ledge

Neither weeping nor wailing yet just despairingly staring

One monkey is our past, the second our present yet our future is not here

The past monkey just reflects in shocked stupor of all our misdeeds

The present monkey his eyes downcast in shame and sorrow

The future monkey just across the vast waters, just a sailboat away from our shores

For when our future monkey does clamber up to the ledge, just to free us from our past and present

Thus freed of our past and present our future is much joyful monkey business indeed.

American Hierarchy

In the American hierarchy we have individuals who rank higher or lower according to a set of rules that determines the so-called right pecking order although we are supposed to be a classless society. 

1. The wealthy head the list since wealth is Godly in a capitalist society.
2. The powerful since power is feared or revered by those who do not possess it.
3. The worker who produces is honored especially if they hold a coveted job.
4. The educated for education is the stepping stone to being wealthy or powerful and may just lead to a coveted job.
5. The martyr to either an honorable cause in society or the controlled opposition to the wealthy or powerful.

Coveted Job – A coveted job is usually in entertainment or sports. It may sometimes be an honored job such as school teacher.

Honorable Cause – Fighting crime, doing charity, or simply maintaining the status quo for the wealthy and powerful.

Controlled Opposition – Those who wish to improve their quality of life by doing what is in their best interests, especially if it benefits most Americans. Examples: Being fully employed instead of under employed. Having a post secondary education even if it is not for a coveted job. Having more than enough money to pay bills, enjoy life without the wealthy or powerful interfering with their agenda.
