Time to take notice...

Art is something that we consider to be a gift to everyday life. But as Walter Benjamin says, “ In principle a work of art has always been reproducible.” When you read something like that, it hits home. There are so many things we take for granted in everyday life. It’s only until something terrible or life altering happens that we truly take notice to the little things. But because of things like this “I am now so thankful for allthe hard work that others do.”  With the recent events in the northern part of the country sometimes we have to stop in reflect. Where I come from storms like that can happen several times of year. Even though it is something we are used to it doesn’t make it any easier to hear how people have lost their home or are without power. I recently heard that some people may go over a month without power in the winter and I truly hope that’s not the case for those families. So for this post today I just want everyone to reflect on the little things and think of all the time and effort that some people to make sure we are safe. We shouldn’t wait till something goes wrong, we should take notice all the time.
