Art of the Day: Geometric ancient art found on walls, temples, and pottery from centuries ago across civilizations, societies, and geographies around the globe. Recently highlighted by the likes of Graham Hancock and other explorers of ancient civilizations, this unique geometric art depicted here in Greek pottery, represents a kind of collective unconscious across ancient societies. It stood out to me for a different reason: a tattoo artist from Tahiti (where the word tattoo originated) designed an engagement ring tattoo for me a decade+ ago mimicking the same identical design, though I neither requested nor he suggested it. Something deep in the human consciousness calls to this simple symbol of truth in life.

 

Wisdom of the Day: “The power in the judicial will enable them to mould the government into almost any shape they please.” Brutus, Anti-Federalist, 1788.

Closing Argument: Time to Judge the Judges

A. Art of the Day 
  • The symmetry of the lines, the balance of light against shadow, the human form echoing the directional clarity of the architecture enveloping, the sky marrying the ocean as nature imitates our physical forms, inspiring the sense of serenity Hopper’s art so easily invokes. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • “When we don’t put the brakes on our self-absorption, we have nothing stopping us from total self-destruction. We become the fruits of our actions.” Zeena Schreck.

A. Art of the Day 
  • The refined elegance of the flow of the dress with the flow of the waves, the curl of the hair with the curl of the water, balanced against the stillness of the solid floor, the open door, the welcoming windows, the beckoning patio. Hopper again captures my idea of close to perfect peace.
