What is art?

Imagine art as a doorway, or a means by which connections can be made between the mind and the external world. Through transposing these worlds, one can expand and clarify the perceptions of ones environment, beyond just rationality -- which is more about understanding, with a more holistic approach. The external world includes ones place within nature, our subconsciousness, our responses, our emotions, in relation to our minds and the minds of others. The degree to which this art can be considered good is basically the ease by which this door can be opened, how far it lets us see and how deep it lets us go.

[my] spirituality

spirituality is standing on top of a mountain and looking out.
its observing the sky and watching the clouds and stars that inhabit them.
its a feeling of awe and wonder.
its realizing that you are just a person on top of a planet in the middle of nowhere.
its listening to Carl Sagan.
its the moment before curiosity and the moment after one realizes their ignorance.
