Rather Than The Perspective We Tend To Have On A Day-to-day Basis - Tumblr Posts

“The daily routine of most adults is so heavy and artificial that we are closed off to much of the world. We have to do this in order to get our work done. I think one purpose of art is to get us out of those routines. When we hear music or poetry or stories, the world opens up again. We’re drawn in — or out — and the windows of our perception are cleansed, as William Blake said. The same thing can happen when we’re around young children or adults who have unlearned those habits of shutting the world out.”
— Ursula K. Le Guin

this is such a brilliant and insightful observation
which tbf from ursula k le guin is nothing new
every quote i hear from her just speaks to me i swear
art is a way of getting back in touch with things
wether it to be the world or your identity or emotions or with nature or so many other things
its about connection and expression and being human and looking at things from new perspectives
rather than the perspective we tend to have on a day-to-day basis
which is often too narrow and conditioned by what our role in society demands of us
