Kirsty's point about visual art not needing words to be fully understood is spot on. Sometimes, a piece of art just hits you, and you can't quite explain why. It's a reminder that art speaks to us on a deeper level, bypassing the need for language or logic.

Yes even though all the answers are at our fingertips, we don’t have to explain every, last, thing. I feel like a week with no google might be a fun challenge!! Ha ha

Loved this: "More and more I like to let the painting, artwork or the film, performance, whatever it is - happen to me. Not in a completely passive way but instead of analysing every little detail and struggling to understand it fully, sometimes it is just a feeling. That is fine and often more satisfying." It has just explained to me why I rather know as little as possible about a book, film, or work of art before I read/watch/ see it. And I loved that story on the ferry!!! :)) As well as the wishes for the future. I'm in 100%. Maybe could live without the monkey...

I was bowled over by that response, as well. So true! So wise! And, yes, the ferry story! A whole world arose around that!! So glad you enjoyed it, Imola!

This: "A massive garden, lots of space, high ceilings, love, amazing light and slower life." Oh, and I'll take that monkey too!

I knoooow!! Me, too! Though I would want the monkey to live safely in the jungle and maybe just pop by for visits! ❤️
