ART, MEANING AND LOVE

 

How can chocolates become so meaningful ?

Obviously I have managed to L them
and therefore admire their beauty
which is one way of celebrating them as art works

 

Could they have been something else? 

It can be anything
Do I love everything?
Unfortunately not. But all things can be loved
by different people at different times: enemies, devils, gods and chocolate candies

 

When you love something - regardless of
the quality question - it becomes meaningful for those who love it ( or like it, if the word "love" is too dramatic for you), as for instance, the awful collective desire for the new, the boring nostalgia for the cultural past, flags, nations and totalitarian art movements

 

Nobody has a free choice when it comes to love

 

ON PINS AND NAILS

 

Maybe it is all about being
It's a matter of someone caring - caring deeply­

And less a matter of understanding than believing

 

Some words said now and long time ago
Kept alive to be discovered and remembered

They are my concern and therefore I say them again

I want to have them around me for a while

 

Can my concern be touched by hand or finger

This question is my question
Yes I believe in the being of being
And that I can hang it on pins and nails
