Today I saw these pretty yellow butterflies flying -- dancing -- around a bush. I don’t know what was remarkable about it but as I consider ending my day, I am most thankful for that little ballet, the ballet of being, of beauty existing unseen and unknown. -- Nietzsche used to say that art should be a surprise… Or, maybe this is JP Sartre… It doesn’t matter. Art should be a surprise, as if you come upon it in a forest. In other words, art is not to be seen. It exists apart from the viewer. But it is available to those with eyes to see. Art may not always be a confined to a frame. Sometimes it’s butterflies.
