diatribalArts

The number three in all cultures seems to have a mystical almost magic quality. As a Christian, it speaks to the Trinity, of unity in diversity of the distinct but indivisible; so is there almost a holy trinity to the triumvirate universals of Truth, Beauty and Goodness. Each is quintessential to a life with meaning, and each must be considered in relation to the others to be fully comprehended. For sure, each can be looked at and classified apart from the others, but none of them posses any persistent value alone; the Beauty found from knowing the True gives one passion in its pursuit; it is the transcendent Truth in a thing that makes it palatable, good and even beautiful. In fact, Beauty and Goodness (or Justice), are the necessary actions of the Truthful as it finds a manifestation in the everyday. Ergo, I have three things to which I bow and constantly submit my life and my art; these are three things that stamp my everything: Truth, Beauty & Goodness coalesced in one being—God.
