what is swimming below


"Perhaps - I say perhaps because I do not know how to reflect except by opening my mind like a glass bottomed boat so that I can watch what is swimming below"
Robert Motherwell

Ah, beauty. And what is underneath. Motherwell goes on to say that "painting becomes sublime when the artist transcends his personal anguish, when he projects in the midst of a shrieking world an expression of living and its end that is silent and ordered..."

Today I am awed by beauty. That is enough.
