define: reality and art*

hello readers

i will be starting new segments in which i will be titling my new posts as one letter titles. such as "define", "imagine", "humor", "allusion", "vision", "quote", and
"quest"

today i will be reintroducing the subject of our constant strive to disconnect ourselves from this mondain reality that haunts us so. like a cheesy b movie character, blessed individuals are blessed with the talent of creating art. art: in the aspect of creating an object or platform that relates to a feeling, scenery or person (see also humanities). we are here today from a union of both art and science. the study of reality and the vision of escaping it. art allows us to see what cant be see with our eyes (at the moment or at all). art comes in the form of painting, digital, sculpture, body, literature, music, and technology* (*kind of like the "y" to vowels, it sometimes can be both art and science). reality can sometimes suck and be great ... at the same time. it's something that humans will never grasp, never. so when people create art, they feel disconnected, they feel closer to a place where it feels like ... energy. understand the people close to art see humans at a point of view like they them selves are art. living breathing art, crafted by God*. but next time you see and old jazz musician (shouldn't be hard in Detroit) sit and talk to him about his artistic adventures in the humanistic world. his eyes will tell tales of old not even epic tales by old Greek men can say.the aura of an old beaten up plaid jacket with a cheesy attempt of a buttoned up dress shirt. his posture will undoubtedly be centred around his instrument and judging by his age, he's been in couple of wars. his hands show sign of damage and carpal tunnel but he doesn't give a damn, he'll play the horn until he dies. he'll just say "jazz requires a sacrifice fool" with a 3 tooth grin he'll smile and jam your heart out of your chest. an artist like so will wow you to the point of spiritual submission. from looking at a world with situations to looking at a plane of existence that have no situations but pure emotion and energy. a world that fades from happy to sad in a second and will conform to make you feel it's feelings. reality and art conform to one another, without one, the other can't live. its beautiful because people need both a realistic life in which art and science co-exist. so take my advice find an aged artist and just converse with him. for it* knows more about reality then anyone because art showed him how to think.
