Not until we are lost do we begin to find ourselves--

where art goes

it came in a small box, fed ex. it is gone now. it didn't take long to sweep it from my life.

art evokes emotion. art is created and destroyed. what is sentimentality? if it evoked emotion, if it made me fear, made me cautious, made me curious, then didn't it do it's part? wasn't it born art? didn't it die art?

it was light not even a pound. it was dark and heavy more than a ton, metaphorically. what's more important the actuality or the metaphor? the substance or the symbol?
