21_ART and CRAFT are only the inside and outside of the same building. The
22ceiling is_---here he put his eraser to his bottom lip, thinking. He crossed
23out _~~The ceiling is.~~_ _The floor is reality and the ceiling is
24~~aspiration~~ ~~desire~~ that which is desired. CRAFT is building a chair
25from wood. ART is using the wood as a substrate for an emotional message to a
26future person, the READER / VIEWER._

28_The important thing is they are both made of wood. The important thing is
29they were both, at one point, alive natural things that grew and changed and
30pushed their way out of the dirt into the air. They formed buildings out of
31the air. They didn't even try._
32
33_What separates us from them, the trees? We have to try. We must labor to
34create our ART, our buildings of air. We lay them out brick by brick, we
35build them up by disintegrating trees and forming them again into what they
36were before. Why must we do this? are there any advantages to this human
37method?_
38
39_Our advantage is memory. Our advantage is the reaching-out over space and
40time to others with our words, our ART. Our buildings last for generations,
41and after they are demolished they are written about, photographs are taken,
42we **remember**. The act of memory is our only ART._
