I saw a Tweet on Twitter this afternoon that got me to thinking. The Tweet from a guy called Scott Hurst said, “Refusing to just accept certain premises ‘on faith’ doesn’t make me closed minded, it makes me rational.” I know that for many of us, religion and the subject of God is a taboo. [...]

I came across this through twitter yesterday, and I was really touched by the impact that such a simple gesture had on the lives of people who are missing one of the fundamental senses that the majority of us take for granted every day.

It’s lovely when you find a peice of art that moves you. The feelings we draw from a peice of art are wide and varied. I often sit and think about what exactly it is that draws us to art in such a powerful way as human beings. The most amazing thing I guess is [...]
