Regardless of the pervading trends of narcissistic nihilism, the necessity and need for the participation in Beauty and Great Art has never gone away. As expressed by the Symbolist writer G.-Albert Aurier in the early 1890’s,
We are all containers for this light. We are the light, contained. The container is relevant only in how it shines and spreads light. It is the vehicle for the light and therefore must be maintained carefully.
These are dark times.
Why are they dark?
The containers have been corrupted.
A poison has been spread.
"Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for." — Hopi elders
