from the mind of critic-4/1/17

From the mind of critic: “If we’re all just bricks in the wall, who or what is the mortar that keeps those bricks together? Are some of us bricks that make up the wall, while some us are glue that holds it all together? Or do all of us make up the wall with the rich tapestries of our cultures, indentities and experiences? Do each of us contain the glue to hold us together, with some of us just being stickier than others? All of us humans have some level of detachment anxiety, as we pull ourselves away and out of the wall, ie. nature. The more we seperate from the natural state we ALL come from whether we admit it or not, the angrier we become with ourselves and our situation. If we don’t deal with this anger in a timely fasion, will trend our attention away from self reflection, and toward others. We can become hostile with other indviduals, thinking the only reason we have problems, is because they messed everything up. Once we get used to blaming others for our shortcomings, we’ll start picking out others who don’t look like us, don’t believe like us, and are from some place we’ve never heard of. As the battle between our tribal group and their tribal group heats up, we become more and more blinded to the beauty of the natural world we’ve neglected for to long. We forget that all of us make up that nature, and our collective inherent purpose is to take care of that nature. Once we see not only how we make up the wall, but how if we didn’t all serve our purpose the wall would fail, we’ll see how maortar is contained within all of us. Surprising ourselves doesn’t have to be scary, It can be what saves us. We just have to get out of our own way”
