Carole Maso: Response (Lozada)

The world doesn't end, my friend. So stop your doomsday song. Or Matthew Arnold: "The end is everywhere: Art still has truth, take refuge there."

There were so many parts to this reading that stuck out to me and got my mind racing, but I chose this one. I chose it because it spoke to my tendency to lean toward dark thoughts. It is easier for me to wrap myself in emotion and let creative work spill out, but I feel like this quote could be taken as a challenge. Let go of those "easy" emotions. Focus on real art and take refuge in it. Learn how to expand what you see as creating.
