Unknown Possibilities

A quote from the book I'm reading (when the bugs allow):

"All artists labor to see other than what's given to be seen; they want to see more, to let form summon up things that were hitherto invisible and that only form, not knowledge or experience, could have discovered. Art is not just the product of labor; it is the love of laboring with unknown possibilities. Art is not our attempt to capture experience and give it a form but to let form become experience." - André Aciman, in Homo Irrealis, p219

Not that I'm claiming to be any more of an artist than all of us are, but I love walking out into the world, full of unknown possibilities for summoning up things that were hitherto invisible - because not seen.

Gratefuls:
- getting stuff done this morning that needed doing
- having plenty of food and space to wander in after discovering we'll need to isolate until one of our guests last night finds out whether she's positive for Covid
- strong kids who keep going when it's hard
