The subjective nature of art is one such element that brings us round to question its value. What indeed draws us to one work of art over another? Such questions are indeed important, and I thank you for writing about them in your poem that buzzes with the electricity of the open soul to beauty and mystery.chazinatorhttp://metanoeticpoetics.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-51318987016670904932012-07-28T11:56:42.209+01:002012-07-28T11:56:42.209+01:00Mary
