Anexamination of the music, sculpture, painting, and writings ofany given time and society gives us perhaps the clearest insightinto the lives, emotions, and ponderings of mankind. I am an avid student of history, wanting to know more and more.Naturally, for me, my seeking of knowledge is combined with adeep appreciation and seeking to learn more of the art of aperiod I am learning of.

Study the best seller lists of the past few years and you'llnotice titles that range from Peter Lynch's "Beating the Street"to Thomas Moore's "Care of the Soul: How to Find Depth andSacredness in Everyday Life." This juxtaposition captures thedilemma facing all of us in the business world. How does oneswim with the sharks, squeeze the margins of an angst-filledfinancial world, and still lead a life of wholeness in spirit,mind and body? Nor is this a new question. Marsilio Ficino's th Centurytreatise, "The Book of Life," sought to help the Medicis andtheir merchant counterparts create a renaissance of spirit amidthe draining demands of commerce and a new creature calledcapitalism. Whether a Renaissance banker or the CEO of a high techconglomerate, whether a guild master of stonework or a managerof information services, the issue is still one of balance. But balance is not an equal measure of work, love, prayer andplay. Nor is it a state that can be achieved and frozen...

Refuse to Live Your Life Without Art, Poetry and Music

Sun, 15 Aug 2010 11:48:03 -0500

Q: Why should an Internet course in Emotional Intelligenceinclude art, poetry and music? A: Because EQ involvesunderstanding and being able to express your emotions, and art,poetry and music are the most suitable vehicles for this.Art expresses emotions without words, and poetry, is, as someonesaid, "feelings through a crack pipe." While I haven'texperienced anything through a crack pipe, I get the analogy,which is what poems, with their metaphors and analogies, are allabout. It could also be said that good poetry 'disturbs.'Music also goes where words can't. "Music is," said Ludwig vanBeethoven, the dominant figure between the Classical andRomantic eras, who composed his Ninth Symphony when totallydeaf, 'the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.'"Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tearsfrom the eyes of woman,' he said. To me, it has done both. Ihave turned to Beethoven's 'Eroica' for inspiration in hardtimes, and put on a John Phil...
