My thought is that art, at its best, or in one version of itself, brings us to truth's door.

So I tried to reconstruct it by going to m-w.com to look up "re-" and "member." There I found "again, anew" and "part of a whole." Which suggests to me that remembering can be the act of putting things together again/anew. <br /><br />Art is one way to re-member, the better to keep truth alive and make something out of broken-ness.<br /><br />Liz Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397660873950991774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-45542017667090474022018-03-02T16:23:06.444+10:002018-03-02T16:23:06.444+10:00whenever I am ready to despair due to the actions ...whenever I am ready to despair due to the actions of mankind - the cruelty, greed, violence and thoughtlessness - it is remembering the beauty of the arts that reconciles me to being human...<br />thank you for reminding me.stregatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573668708723922929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-31148899685746314562018-03-02T00:13:01.575+10:002018-03-02T00:13:01.575+10:00"Tell all the truth
