I ♥ art and the humanities
Our world would be so boring without the humanities, art or
drama. The arts and the humanities give us little breaks from daily routine to
reflect on life. With a society obsessed with productivity, the humanities challenge
our culture and invite us to contemplate the big picture. With a lot of
emphasis put on answering math and science questions with convergent answers, the
humanities ask divergent questions and challenge common ways of thinking, which
leads to innovation. Art enriches our lives and carries over into more
“practical” applications as well, contributing in unexpected ways. The arts and
the humanities cannot be underestimated.

Violin rosin
I got my used violin a little over 20 years ago and it came with violin rosin in the case. "Made in West Germany" ... I think it's interesting how today I use the violin rosin and so much has changed since the rosin was produced. I have a physical object showing a snapshot in time, but history has evolved since then. It's the past, but I'm using it in the present.
