"L'art est l'enfance et ne dort plus ravi par le soleil"
— Rainer Maria Rilke
Simplified Meaning:
Art is like looking at the world with the wonder and imagination of a child. When we grow up, we often lose that sense of amazement and creativity. Just like children play and create without worrying about rules or judgments, art allows us to express ourselves freely and joyfully. Think of how a child can spend hours painting, singing, or building without getting bored—they are delighted by the simple pleasures of creation. In our busy adult lives, we often forget to take joy in these small, creative acts. Bringing art into our lives can help us recapture that pure happiness and view the world through fresh eyes. For example, drawing or crafting, even if we're not 'good' at it, can be a way to relax and reconnect with that playful side we've set aside.
