Jonah likes to make sculptures with his legos. He also likes to make spaceships and robots. When he makes a spaceship, he says "I made a spaceship." When he makes robots, he says "I made a robot." and when he makes sculptures, he says, "I made a sculpture." If you ask him what it is; is it a sculpture of a robot, or a dog, or a gallamimus, he says "It's a sculpture." You know, how 5-year-olds enunciate when you're being an idiot.
So tell me again how the most 'natural' art form is naturalistic representation? (I think 'naturalistic representation' is not the descriptor I mean to say, but I'm drawing a blank. I mean realism, like, accurate representation of something which existed in the world prior to the sculpture.)

Michael,
Forgetting the prayer, that's great. I'd like to know a prayer so well as to forget it.
& responding to your drift; exactly what I had in mind, the way a thought-thing unfolds from itself is a prior experience of humanity unmolded; and the Eastern philosophies seem to have better (i.e. nonjudgemental, because isn't that involved in such an experience?) access to such states than ours do. Not in the profound sense of things/states only deeply felt or abstrusely known, but of what is so obvious it is easy to miss the value of. Like sculpting.
Two is a wild age. Absolutely wild.
