WOW! It's no accident that this showed up today... this very hour... that I am rewording my artist vision on paper, as a co- creator with God, to open earthly portals to His Kingdom through my artworks.

I highly recommend Roger Scruton’s video on beauty. It was taken off YouTube for unknown reasons, but appears on Vimeo. Here is the link: https://vimeo.com/channels/1864552

I will watch it. Thank you! I recommend Dana Gioia's video, it's not very long. He is a poet and it's a wonderful exploration of the importance of beauty. I suspect it has overlapping themes with Scruton's: https://youtu.be/QAlMjfMfbB4

His brother, Ted Gioia, is also here on Substack and writes about music and culture. He's known for his books about Jazz. https://www.honest-broker.com/

The Scruton video was fantastic.
