“A painting is what you see and how it makes you feel.
Poetry is what you hear and how it makes you feel.”
A dear friends account of the art-forms.
How something makes you feel is all that matters.
It is not just the words, the paint or what you say. Nor is it specifically your actions or other peoples.
Your visceral reaction counts.
Surround yourself with people and experiences that invoke, motivate and foster deep-seated emotions.
