I like this phrase: "reshaping our preconceived notions." It reminded me that I think of Art as "The Language of The Mystery." ("Not a Mystery, mind you, The Mystery. The one that can never be solved." Tom Robbins) You want to visit the Mystery? You'll need to set aside your preconceived notions. They're not allowed in.

THE MYSTERY goes on, and I almost said, “with us or without us,” which doesn’t mean anything! You are hard on the heels of The mystery with your poems, and they keep refreshing my focus there. Thanks Steve! Probably nothing more important to wonder about, and preconceived notions block almost everything worthwhile.
