"Words have a magical power. They can bring either the greatest happiness or deepest despair; they can transfer knowledge from teacher to student; words enable the orator to sway his audience and dictate its decisions. Words are capable of arousing the strongest emotions and prompting all men's actions." Sigmund Freud

The New Modern Art Wing opens at the Art Institute of Chicago
The new and much anticipated Modern Art Wing opens tomorrow at the Art Institute of Chicago. The AI has always been a favoite place to refresh and renew. In that spirit:
“The true work of art is born from the 'artist': a mysterious, enigmatic, and mystical creation. It detaches itself from him, it acquires an autonomous life, becomes a personality, an independent subject, animated with a spiritual breath, the living subject of a real existence of being."
Wassily Kandinsky, December 4, 1866 – December 13, 1944
May we come in prayer this week seeking to bring into being through our living the true art which lies in the profound mystery of our souls. May we pray that those gifts find life and breath and being in the lives of all who come to us seeking comfort and healing for their own souls. Only here will we find the true reality of our existence. Amen.
