@ragingloli Makes sense, it is love after all but I’m skeptical it’s that good!

Sculpture with clay. Using your hands to make the form has to be very hands on and visual as well. Not sure if anything else could be much closer.

Scrapbooking

@ragingloli That’s gross.

It’s not the art form; it’s the artist who imbues it with their love. Any medium can be expressive of the love that it is made with.

Sex.

Then the obvious response is that someone will say “That is not an art form”. And then I get to reply “It is the way I do it!” or “That’s not what your Mom said.”

And then a comedy drum riff plays.

Dance and opera.

@Entropy
A “Your mom” joke? in 2022?
Seriously, those jokes are so old, overused, and worn out.
Like your mom’s vagina.

@janbb I was trying hard to find this line and it turned out to be the very first line in the whole book:

“1. There is no order of difficulty in miracles. One is not “harder” or “bigger” than another. They are all the same. All expressions of love are maximal.”

It’s from A Course In Miracles

Your answer just made me think of that for some reason

To me, anything personal that one person makes for another is a wonderful and powerful expression of love, whether it’s a quilt or a crosheted blanket or a framed photo or a painting that someone does for another, or a piece of pottery that someone makes for someone, or a table or other wooden item that a carpenter makes, or anything at all. I don’t think any one type of thing is more “powerful” than another. Each is equally wonderful in its own way.

@jca2 When I answered loli I had checked and it was about 6 pm Dec 25th in Germany so it was still Christmas, just in case someone would say that. ;)

ragingloli's avatar

We open our presents on the 24th, so on the 25th, christmas is over.

RayaHope's avatar

^^I’m sorry that the rest of the world celebrates Christmas on the 25th of December and only you @ragingloli celebrate on the 24th. I’ll make sure to write that down somewhere so I don’t forget…

ragingloli's avatar

The whole of Germany does it that way, and everyone else is wrong.

RayaHope's avatar

…and why is that?

ragingloli's avatar

Why is something good or evil, just because God says so? Because God defines it.

RayaHope's avatar

You are getting way off course. What does that have to do with what day you celebrate Christmas on?

ragingloli's avatar

Germany does it right, because it does it. No further justification is needed.

Poetry.

@kritiper I agree, The most intimate and powerful expressions of love are found in poetry.

wearemiracles's avatar

In my personal opinion, music is the most powerful artform and all artforms are expressions of love. And literature is an artform. I never ever got into literature like poetry, not an avid reader. But I’ve found allot of power and beauty in some spiritual gitas which are poems. Also some spiritual texts which don’t fit into any format. Maybe prose if that’s correct.

Music is not just the most powerful, it’s by far. How can we measure power.

In literature you would measure it by how much meaning can be communicated per word count. That’s why poetry takes the trophy. Because it’s dense.

I imagine that people who really love poetry, probably read it very very slowly, letting it unfold in full not wanting to skip along. Savoring every line. Because I’ve experienced that myself.

With music the impression or effect it can create in you can be so strong, you may feel you can’t breathe. You may play a tiny bit of something in your own head and savor each note and feel it moving you from the inside out. In my experience no literature comes close to Music.

Just my opinion or experience.
