Outside the modern art museum
A man is selling his own abstract paintings
The swirls are similar in some ways
To the swirls on other paintings inside
The palettes used in both sets
Bear some superficial resemblanceInside, a patron scoffs
And says, "Any fool can
drip paint haphazardly on a canvas."
He's not wrong.
But he's not right either.
I can see the difference. -
In initiatory terms, the absorption of light is amoral, and could (and probably does) vibrate in taboo ways. Outside the palate with which most paint their lives, the aspirant is apt to be met with projections and criticism as dark or sinister or bad. But to move freely with the light and vibrate warmly in its absorption is praiseworthy under the law of do what thou wilt.
