Our Lady of Spring Snow



I like god art.
Art that takes us back to the origins - to what gods do - create. This thought comes from Stephen Nachmanovitch in his book on improvisation, Free Play. Here is more from him:

"The professionalism of technique and the flash of dexterity are more comfortable to be around than raw creative power; hence our society generally rewards virtuoso performers more highly than it rewards original creators. It is relatively easy to judge and evaluate technical brilliance. Spiritual and emotional content are not so easy to evaluate. They are intuited directly, subtly, and often become apparent to the world at large only after a considerable passage of time."
