Art is Divine.

I do not care what religion you believe in, or if you are religious at all. Art is Divine. Or let me say, Art itself is Divinity. Outside of any other religious mental framework. 

The Act of Creation, in all its forms, is the most noble and glorious thing one can do in this life. 

When you create, you are violating one of the most basic laws of this universe. Taking raw materials and ending up with something more complex than its parts. That's decreasing entropy. Now that's not entirely true, 2nd law of thermodynamics and all that, but in at least a local and not quite literal sense, in that limited system, entropy is decreasing. Complexity arising from simplicity is the most unnatural thing in this universe, and the single most natural thing to humanity. It is ingrained in our deepest instincts to dance and sing and love and create. 

Life itself follows this pattern. Procreation is the exact same thing. Taking raw matter, bunches of atoms, and giving way to consciousness. Do you realize how insane that is? Matter becoming self-aware. In a universe where entropy is meant to increase. Human Consciousness is the single biggest mystery in the entire universe. How are we? Literally? Conscious beings seem to be contrary to every natural physical law, even more than simple biologics already are. 

So we have a group of self-aware monkeys that suddenly popped up on some small planet in some small system in some small corner of the universe, defying entropy by their very existence. And what do they do? They actively defy it even more. We draw and write and compose and paint and sculpt and build and farm and plan and love. Organizing matter into something more complex than its parts is the single most human thing you can do. We create art because we are art. We are complexities creating complexities. Monkey see monkey do. Heh.

It's more than defying physical entropy, we go even further and defy informational entropy too. We give art meaning. The curtains aren't just blue. We try to give our art the same consciousness we have. We create worlds and people. Self-aware beings with no self. 

Are you seeing the pattern yet???? The glory???? The divinity?????

Creations creating creations creating creations. Attempts at eternity in a definitively temporary universe. Finding meaning in the meaning that we are.

I'm lost in the sauce. I don't think I'm making sense any more.
but i am making. and that's the whole point. that's the whole. point.

Just gonna end with this: 

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Make your words fork lightning friends.
