"Art" suddenly seems an interesting metaphor for individuality. Restricting each to limited scope leads to, well... limitation. Why narrow the notions in the first place? Is there not wondrous art everywhere you look when refraining from insisting art is a small subset of The Whole Shebang?

Same with self/person/individuality. Why cling to smallness - e.g. "me" - in that department?

Just wondering out loud while impatiently awaiting ~tffb's next post.... :-)
