Guided by the former, art turns into a copy of the environment’s objectivity or the individual’s psychic history. Guided by the latter, art is redeemed, makes the world into its instrument, and forges- beyond spatial and temporal prisons- a personal vision.”<br/><br/> - <em>Jorge Luis Borges</em>http://www.alivingphilosophy.com/post/24071844341http://www.alivingphilosophy.com/post/24071844341Wed, 30 May 2012 11:05:10 -0700Jorge Luis Borgescreativitywritingaestheticsart<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/23841864997/tumblr_m4les9MfTg1qbv34q&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><p><strong>Island Letter</strong> - Shuggie Otis.</p>http://www.alivingphilosophy.com/post/23841864997http://www.alivingphilosophy.com/post/23841864997Sat, 26 May 2012 21:01:51 -0700musiclove songShuggie Otissoul musicIsland Letter<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2kv3usSyP1qji3xao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://www.alivingphilosophy.com/post/23825542658http://www.alivingphilosophy.com/post/23825542658Sat, 26 May 2012 16:16:38 -0700<p>i could fill these notebooks with nothing in particular but a habit, a feeling- or more importantly- a work, a practice.
