o fickle heart of mine

i am writing for no reason in particular, but for the fact that it helps me understand.

i had a beautiful conversation with a freshman the other night, and it made me realize how much good conversations make my day. make my life, really, in turning me into the person i will become.

i've been thinking lately about art, and artists.
what is it that distinguishes a soul of an artist?
maybe there is no distinction or separation i can actually make between those who love art, and those who do not.  because maybe everyone is inclined towards beauty, but it is simply that their ideals of beauty are different.  in a form other than one i can recognize.  ...yet still there.

art
1. the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.

of what is more than ordinary significance.
