According to Fredric Douglas, the traditional song, John Brown's Body, He [John Brown] was with the troops during that war, he was seen in every campfire, and our boys pressed onward to victory and freedom, timing their feet to the stately stepping of Old John Brown as his soul went marching on.

I started working on a new art project. During the course of my artistic process, I have had to think about what I wanted the overall message of my work to be. And I also had to think about the minor details. I think the artistic process is really about transitioning your learning from the macrocentric, to the microcentric. Making art is all about making decisions and letting them happen. Making a decision in the micro can have a huge effect on the macro. This sort of sensitivity needs to be balanced well constructing in artwork as well as critical thinking. Artists are some of the most intelligent people in the world, and it only makes sense that they are able to think flexibly.

It allows the individual to understand big patterns and substitute for unknown information, while also focusing on minor details. My brain connected this with the creation of art. An artist needs to be able to transition between these thinking systems when engaging in the artistic process.

The line "we were the heathens" in An American Sunrise, seem to run parallel to the line "We are but nomads asking for nothing But the blessings upon our Mother Earth." in Thought. https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/afc/afc2020004/afc2020004_18/afc2020004_18_ms01.pdf Tue, 26 Jan 2021 15:17:17 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/252045?scroll_to=2292984 https://nowcomment.com/documents/252045?scroll_to=2292984 I thought that June may have some significance because she could have picked any month... I did some research and found that the celebrated June plant is oak. According to native-languages.com tribes with Oak Clans include the Pueblo tribes of New Mexico, whose Oak Clan is named Hapanyi. I thought this was interesting because Pueblo was mentioned in this line. Just something to think about.

I try to surround myself with people that make me feel safe, or happy. These people just so happen to have simmilar views. But we still are growing as people.

No one is capable of knowing all things. That's why there are so many people. we could never have enough evidence to say that all of out knoweledges is right.

Some may say "a lack of words" but the fact is we just don't know how to say what we want to say.

According to the story, a united human race in the generations after the flood build a tower to reach God. God, observing their city and tower, confounds their speech so that they can no longer understand each other, and scatters them around the world.

Conflict always has a resolution. it is a way to learn about each other.

I think we should break away from our old ways of hearing, but not listening to each other. The differences between the two are huge.

I was going to say that this is what makes us humans and unites us.

This part just made me think of superficial conversation.

However, this almost happy moment is ruined when Barry could not bring himself to do it. I think there is a deeper rooted issue between Bob and Barry, I think it boils down to Bob being disappointed about Barry's illness. If bob would realize that Barry is not defined by his illness, then I think they could have better relationship.
