I love buying art.
I love (almost) forgetting
I bought a piece of art and seeing an odd, carefully-packed package on my porch on a forgettable Thursday afternoon.
I love remembering
a sudden BAMripping cloudburst deep in the Marrakech souk and the handsome and gracious salesmen and a sudden (reasonable) purchase because I’m a sucker for the trifecta of thunderstorms, handsome-gracious men and especially Arabic calligraphy.
I’ve never regretted buying an art piece even when I ‘shouldn’t have.’
Gonna need a translator.
Go on. Buy art.
It’s good.
Maybe not its final home.
