The Gift of Art And How You Know

I had two great experiences yesterday.  One:  I rode 9 hours and around 400 miles traveling thorough three states and the whole way was abloom.  Fields, mountains, streams, forests, clouds and abundances beyond record where all bright and abounding.  At one point a weather front separated the entire sky, on one side dark blue evening, on another a white blanket of weather stretched in a perfect line from horizon to horizon.  The second was an art show by a young artist not yet 30.  His work was meaningful, well crafted, smart and above all else, sincere.  It was Art!  Both these experiences gave me meaning-full.  And here is how I know.  Both made me want to say, Thank You/you.
