"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls." -- Picasso

There's something very poetic about quote. it makes me feel all inspired and creative; things I don't think I am. it is true that looking at a great piece of art, or hearing a beautiful piece of music, or writing a descriptive paragraph uplifts me. I can escape the "dust' of daily life and enter into a whole different world. A world where things like doing laundry just don't exist. A world where I can really stop and appreciate the beauty of everything around me. A world where worrying has no place. Where tears are only expectable if they are because the beauty is too much to handle. I need to visit there every once in a while. It's like getting a battery charged. It helps me get through the rest of the crap that I encounter throughout the week.
