“Humans are amphibians…half spirit and half animal…as spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time.” –C.S. Lewis
The aim of this art is to illuminate “amphibian” humanity’s higher nature, by bringing timeless moments of the eternal world to light, via abstract expressions of emotions that strike an infinite ring of truth outside of time, like the ring around the sound of water a frog jumps in. The quotes may help inhabitants of time make sense of these intimations of im(art)ality now.
Immortality through art means moving away from time. To achieve a moment of eternity. —Bassam AL-Radaideh
All art is immortal. For emotion for the sake of emotion is the aim of art, and emotion for the sake of action is the aim of life. —Oscar Wilde
The poetic notion of infinity is far greater than that which is sponsored by any creed. —Joseph Brodsky
A circle is the reflection of eternity. It has no beginning and it has no end – and if you put several circles over each other, then you get a spiral. —Maynard James Keenan
If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. —William Blake
What does culture want? To make infinity comprehensible. —Umberto Eco
Every action of your life touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity. —Edwin Hubbel Chapin
The process of writing has something infinite about it. Even though it is interrupted each night, it is one single notation. —Elias Canetti
Hope is the struggle of the soul, breaking loose from what is perishable, and attesting her eternity. —Herman Melville
Love transports mortal beings to the existential plane of spiritual eternity transcending the emotional, mental, and physical limitations of an inaccurately perceived finite existence. —Ken Poirot
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. —Henry David Thoreau
Forever is composed of nows. —Emily Dickenson

The act of writing possesses an infinite quality, persisting as a singular notation despite being interrupted each night.
“Writing is a very focused form of meditation. Just as good as sitting in a lotus position.” Alan Moore
Cheers to the team of Leduc and Sum!
Thanks, George, The coach said ‘There’s no I in Team,” just to hear himself talk.
I can feel the energy you two put into this post. I had to savor each ‘moment’. I must say I love the violet moment best but all are mesmerizing. The end quote was perfect for all of the ‘moments.’ So glad to be in a moment when I could connect with your ‘now’.
Thank you kindly, LuAnne, merci toujour for your violet gladness. The energy expended in creating the “im(art)ality now” post is now fully recharged. 🙂 Emily Dickenson, et al., must be beaming forever now, too!
