imagine…
John Lennon sang about ‘above us only open sky’ – I am thinking of his impulse not so much as an invitation to imagine but one to realise under-open-sky-being.
Thinking about the effect Elena Lux-Marx’ pictures (see exhibition in the Arithmeum, Bonn, since Mar 16, 2019) had on me the other day, before I read the brochure, I am reminded of John Lennon’s song:
Looking at the pictures – invites a shift on perspective, eventually, a looking beyond or inside… “… from the surface into a space that pulls the soul into its own depth. From a near-hypnotic (effect), there rises a longing to enter a different world, indescribable and beautiful.
Solitary 4 Tomorrow - in Dialogue 
… being pulled inside thus, I found – now there are three anchors in me – clarity, freedom and care. They are, of course, not solid, not solidified – not secure under my belt kind of anchors but only live in – applying them.
This again reminds me of philosopher Bernard Lonergan who has written volumes and volumes on philosophy of insight and of religion – and there somewhere says, if I remember correctly ‘art can get us there in a flash’…
