Beautiful Color

My favorite thing to do over the past semester has been when I can make time to go out on the water and be on my kayak.  I make time and look forward to when I will be able to do it.  In the same way we feel "the call" to create, I feel the call to do.  In Ancient Art and Ritual Harrison talks about "dramenon", or "drama" as something that involves doing.  It's not good enough to just think about our beautiful experiences, we have to re-create them.  In this class we have focused on "works of art".  We all presented on an art "object".  But is there an element of artistic creation in doing things that neither produce an object, or are communicated and shared in any way?  I enjoy creating moments where I can just go out and enjoy the passing of time.  To find peace in knowing that I completed whatever my duties were and now I can settle in to something else.  My idea of what it means to enjoy myself has changed and evolved over time.  It's not always that easy to know what it is that you truly enjoy.  Or to know if your spending your time in the way that is most meaningful for yourself and the people around you.  And I'm sure this is something that evolves with time.  However I see it as a sort of work of art in itself.
Anyway I named this blog "beautiful color", and meant to talk about how the colors of the sky as the day moves along have been something special to me this semester.  Somewhere I got off track with that idea.  Maybe my ultimate thought was that it seems like we desire to recreate what we believe to be good.  And we can only hope that what we believe is good will change into something better.
