Only through art can the soul be nourished. The human element of it provides the spark sustained. Alone, the thing is theoretical, even the symbol. But with the arrival of Gadamer's "Festival" the symbol becomes alive. It has heat. Though we cannot agree upon what the Festival is, because it is completely different for everyone - the perspective or interpretation of the "Festival" is totally unique. It is understandable. Yet when it is expressed - put out there - we give it legs. It is interpreted. The heat is felt and it becomes real in the sense that, this thing - Art - we cannot define - nor express in any meaningfull way - the concept - unexpressable - is taken by the other into his symbolic order and is alive. The human element - the Festival - HITS! The structure of which - can it be defined? Or only experienced? Live, Live for onesself

                                                       - - - - - - - - - 

     Intensity, a focusing of the Creative Spirit, elaberation on the symbolic, fired by the other, by the Festival. Leading, or to be lead. Life is what you make it.

     Quite literally, what we create is ourselves. We do not have complete control over this as the art leads you. Gadamer is so inspirational with his mix of intention - having a will to explore - and allowing the art to take you where it must.
