thoughts

I'm reading a book about the Bauhaus right now. It's so fascinating to see politics and design and art and crafts and history come together in a style of design that I knew little to nothing about before I went to Germany this summer. How can I take my high interest in this sort of thing (art, design, architecture, and their intersection with history) and somehow weave it into my every day activities (more so than simply reading). Should I go back to school? For what? Art history? and then what? I teach? Or is maintaining an interest the way I keep it in my life? Make a commitment to continuing to learn? Is that enough? Yes, I suppose, if I honor that commitment.

It's late October. I'm in limbo, for sure. I am okay with that most of the time, but the rest of the time it's tough.
