Art - nutrition for the soul

Art is invaluable nutrition to our souls. It is a way to express, give and receive. I would almost say that art is love.

Sharing music, theatre, film, literature, a painting, dancing, design or photography is essential for human beings, especially in these modern times when many tend to worry so much about shallow efficiency, material assets and forget about the needs of the heart. Whether we take part as a creator/artist, or as a receiver/consumer art touches us on a level of our deepest needs and changes us if we let it.

We need art to express feelings and to say important things in a way that makes an impression on the receiver. And we need it just because it brings beauty or excitement into our sometimes dull lives.

Goethe said that every person everyday should watch a beautiful painting, listen to a piece of good music, read from a good book and accomplish at least one good deed.

Art is a mirror put in front of us to reflect the things around us, our society, our behaviour, the absurd, the crazy, and make us see the things we don't always see.

But let us stay at the feel-good level. Art helps us stay healthy. It is a precious gift. It's quality of life. And that brings health and well-being.

Film-makers with a warm message

I have come across The Spiritual Cinema Circle which is a film club that offers unusual and special films. These are movies that touch my soul. Watching these kinds of films is for me very uplifting and gives strength and encouragement to cope with my everyday life. Recommended from my heart.
