the power of style. part one.

it is easy to be so enamored by a style,
that the style is the only thing you can, or want, to see.
and why not? beauty exists for us to fixate on.
all great works of life and nature are,
in the context of all noteworthy human experience,
amazing and special and deserve that recognition.

in terms of human-made art it can be easy to appreciate all kinds.
but infatuation, love, and commitment are stronger feelings;
these feelings are less likely to be shared across the field.
this is because these emotions require a better understanding,
a true and deep knowledge, of what they shall elevate on their shoulders.
you see this in every field of every kind of study: the specialists.
they have discovered in their study that very specific passion..

once a disciple is converted, they become their obsession.
they delve into that quest for knowledge and understanding.
they become representatives and advocates for the style and its virtues.
they become experts in knowledge.
hopefully they become experts in application.

all for a style.
all within context.
