All works of Art, in any medium, stand alone as a separate entity from the person who created it.
They remain dormant and only come to life when someone reads them, looks at them or listens to them.
For a brief moment in time, they come to life and manifest themselves in the mind of an individual.
It conjures up memories, emotions, experiences and fantasies unique TO that individual so that it materializes as an intimate experience unlike any other.
Simultaneously, the works are permanently and physically embedded in that individual's subconscious mind
so that it becomes part of their consciousness mind and manifests itself in another form through the creative process.
Every time someone comes into contact with that Art work, the same thing will happen again and again during the artist's lifetime, a hundred years from now, or even in a thousand years. All because the art has a power and energy all it's own.

When you spend most of your time absorbed in mental things, you're not really living in THIS world,
you're living somewhere else.
