Sharing what we see is meaning enough

power lines 1-9-2003 — acrylic on can­vas — 12x12 each by Dan McCarthy

Each place you go, don’t look for the thing that is dif­fer­ent. Look for the thing that is the same. That is your start­ing point, the anchor.

I can share the expe­ri­ence. We aren’t alone. But we can’t find each other inside all the noise. We have to look out into the quiet, strip the lines of the world to the essen­tials, pros­trate our souls to the com­mon, the every­day, the mundane.

This artist lets us see it anew. But we’ll miss it if we try to give it too much mean­ing. That we share what we see is mean­ing enough.
