Notes towards the
second installment of my Daumier Project.
I have made some notes of the
various random thoughts that have been floating through my head to be considered
before I commit myself to start on a final piece, a physical piece.
Religion abandoned,
the Religious sense, buried deep. Is it only
a residue of my Catholic upbringing, or an inevitable, universal human response
to the magical mystery tour that is life? Why is there anything rather than
nothing? Why is it as it is? Could it be otherwise?
If things are as
they are because of some inevitable constitutional or developmental part of
nature then who are we to protest? Yet the child's protest, "But it’s NOT
FAIR." is that not just as inevitable, an inevitable universal human
response? And therefore just as
legitimate?
The religious sense, the impulse to worship, seems to
be a response to the big picture and is an acceptance of the way things are.
(Shouldn’t we even be grateful?)
