painting and listening to audio books or various podcasts perfectly complements each other. i'm dismayed it took me so long to discover this - the beautiful combination of two of the things i love most: art and literature.
and the oral tradition. i'd forgotten how much i loved listening to stories, that it was altogether another form of enjoyment to reading the text yourself. this, perhaps, dates back to childhood when mom would read a chapter of Wu Cheng'en's epic novel Tay Du Ky (Journey to the West) to me each night until we'd covered the entire 100 chapters.
recently i listened to Kafka's The Metamorphosis and the story was so strange that it took me 2 days after the last sentence to make sense of my feelings. and boiling down to it, the prevalence being sadness.
