Thinking about the idea of "making something good" or "getting it right" vs. learning something deeply. I will always choose depth... I love to learn. For me, for something to be considered beautiful it has depth. I am more interested in the process than the outcome. I do believe that it may be right and good via my path to depth. I do believe that something may be simple or complex and still have depth. I do believe that the path to learning something deeply is a very worthy, engaging, and an important subject to share with our young people and all people. I feel that it may be lost to many as to why it is important and the how, the process and mindful awareness of what we are learning is what is truly important and interesting.
So, what is depth... I think that learning an art form creates depth in a person and the outcome is art. I think that diving into any great subject, creates depth. I believe in the importance of learning things and in knowing something or someone over a long period of time creates a relationship that has the potential for depth, for knowing yourself and the "subject".
The idea that the "subject, love, people, animals, science, religion, poetry, nature, music, art... is worthy... We all have something to contribute to a great "subject of depth" to learn from , is worthy of our in depth study.
It is a way of knowing more of your self, of growing, of learning, of creating depth and beauty, art... in this world... It is sharing deeply a perspective that only you can give, given that you are a one of a kind creation never to be created again... It is opening up the light of potential that is present, it is an unveiling of the beauty of this world and... that can not be found in a good or bad, right or wrong, but is found in the depth of you, shared from your human heart... to another heart... it is beautiful...
Thank you for your heart, your willingness to dive deeply into a subject of your choice and share your light...
Happy diving into your depths of de-light,
Jennifer
Love this Jennifer ... for me going for depth is a life not wasted.
