My average day wouldn't really be tolerable without websites like NPR. I love a lot of the fluffy bunny and kitty pictures, and foodie blogs in my Google reader subscription list, but sometimes you need something a little more transcendant.
Like this:
Suprasensorial: Experiments in Light, Color, and Space from MOCA on Vimeo.
This reminds me of Sunday in the Park with George.
It's amazing how much place and light can affect us, our moods, our insides, and how we look at each other.
For some people, what we see around us has a tendency to bring the inside to the outside. For some it just creates more to hide. Every time I listen to this song, or watch this clip, I tear up at the moment when Dot and George turn from what they are doing to to stare at each other. Both characters share a huge piece of themselves with the audience, with the canvas in front of them (although Dot's "canvas" is actually herself) but then they are completely unable to express themselves to each other. Bravo to Sondheim for putting this part of the human condition into music and words. No matter how artistic, or articulate you are, you probably have depths of feeling that you still can't discover how to express to other people without the formalized release of art.
