It's not that I'm trying to get to exactly what's being said

I mean... who knows?

I was just trying to put into words what struck me in an instant and was allowing for the possibility - however remote - that it was intentional.

I think the best art is that which gives different people different things because there's a universality to it.

It makes me think of being in Tibet a while back and going to a place outside of Lhasa (Tsurpu Monastary) to see the reincarnated Karmapa. A boy of about 8 at that time... since fled and the Chinese are trying to claim he isn't and that one of their people is.

Anyway, I got a few people I'd met while traveling around to come along (it was a long bus ride and we were the only westerners there) and while we were on line, circling the room the boy was in as we proceeded towards our blessing's, I felt that he was completely engaged with and looking at me and me alone. Then I noticed that he wasn't actually LOOKING at anyone. A few of us talked about it afterwards and we each had the same experience... each felt that he was fully engaged with them.

I think great art is like this.

As for memory... only if something interests/engages me. I can remember little details of those things for a long time... but not much else.

Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
