i am still looking for my ladder
where is my ladder to earth?
oh i forgot i actually living on earth
where is my ladder to heaven?
no, my time is not here yet
where is my ladder to getting there?
where is there?
what attracts me there?
what can i find there?
there, where are you?
look over here

happiness?
s: i wish people used the word HAPPY the way they do in Russia.
me: how do they use it in Russia?
s: the word for Happiness is… well, it means something else.
me: can you explain?
s: it implies that you have a piece of something that’s fleeting.
you may catch it, or it may leave you…you may be with it, literally,
or ask it to stay with you, and there are many songs on that,
or it may choose to leave you
you can find it, but it may leave.
and so on.
a more advanced notion of the term would be
it’s in motion
so…
dynamic tranquility is probably best to describe it.
“dynamic tranquility.” that’s lovely.

‘Art is fundamentally a survival device of the species. Otherwise it wouldn’t be so persistent. It wouldn’t be in every culture. We wouldn’t know about it…
How does art help you survive? It helps us survive by making us attentive. In a simplistic way, when you go past a forest and you look at it and you say, ‘that looks just like Cézanne.’ And you realize Cézanne has made you see the reality of the forest in a way that you never could have seen before. He’s made you attentive. Every work of art that you care about makes us attentive.’ Milton Glaser
