The Ears of Sundry Gods:

Desire & Regret

           Donna Pardue

Have you ever experience a chill or butterflies in your stomach while experiencing a work of art, whether visual art, music or poetry?

Perhaps it is because the artist, during the creation of the work, has tapped into some universal intuition, a mysterious knowing. It's something that the viewer recognizes. In that moment, time is nonexistent. Where time does not exist, neither does worry about the past, our regrets— or projection of the future, our desires.
