Hello, and welcome back to the labyrinth. In today's post, I would like to talk about the importance of the arts and culture, and what they might mean, in our lives. For me, art, in any form, can be inspiring and regenerative, can stun the senses creating wonderment (for example, the first time I saw Turner's work in London, and Monet's work in Paris - all I could say and think was 'Wow...'), and can massively enhance our mood. It feels good to read a great book, to be an audience member at a great play, film or concert, or to produce something creative yourself, doesn't it? Culture, for me, represents humanity in action - the road map of how we have lived and are living, and what we think, feel and believe. In today's multi-cultural society, then, the inevitable blending of artistic and cultural ideas should be more interesting and exciting than ever.
