Modern Art for the Wondering Soul

I took a trip to LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art). They have a good collection of modern and contemporary art which I enjoy immensly. As I wandered past paintings, scultures, and pieces that defy category I began to remember some of the things I used to think about. Things like existence, truth, and what it means to be human. It is good to be reminded of the big picture and completely different ways to think. The creativity of the art draws out the creativity of my own being. It gives me a sense of peace and hope. It reminds me that being human does mean something, even if we can't really explain it.

You are art, Scott Egbers.

What great things to be reminded of! We need to do some more museum hopping in the Twin Cities when we all get back. Does the library still give out free passes?

I hope your Sunday had just the right amount of adventure.
