Why Music? Why Art? Why Language….?

Monday/Tuesday features essays topics that include Music, Art, Fitness, Language, and Philosophy. Why this grouping? A closer look at each topic reveals the connections they share:

  1. Music/Art/Creative Endeavor — We require art to live. We are here to do more than just survive friends. Yes — we require food, water, shelter, and oxygen to keep our bodies operational, but We require Art to LIVE. We are built to labor-over, conjure, craft, and create that which didn’t exist before. Do we need to part our hair, wear jewelry, match our socks, arrange furniture in pleasing ways, adorn our walls, or add music to weddings, funerals, parades, and nightclubs to physically survive? No. We’re not here to merely survive however. We’re here for more. Monday/Tuesday dedicates space and time to Music, Art and Creative Endeavor because Art is in the echelon of the handful of things that make life worth living. Art is a must have. A must do. A must.

  2. Language — Language is the essence of culture. It is the apparatus by which culture is transmitted. Language allows us to communicate cognitive machinations that include logic, imagination, reason, and conditional thinking. Languages represent living, intricate, highly-structured systems that evolve over centuries. Language is among the most vital components of human connection.

  3. Travel — A favorite undertaking of people across cultures, age, background, and socio-economic strata, travel challenges, expands, teaches, and builds relationships. Travel meets our basic human interest in partaking of the unfamiliar. Travel allows for rest, relaxation, and re-acquaintance with history, geography, tradition, and ways of being across time and place. Like language, travel amplifies and connects.

  4. Philosophy (aka Big Ideas / Love of Wisdom) — Add the Greek word “philo” (love), to the Greek “sophy” (wisdom) and you have Philosophy (philo+sophy), or love of wisdom. Philosophy is the study of logic, reason, language structure, ethics, and the way human beings experience and position themselves in the world. Philosophy connects people across centuries and continents as they ponder life’s biggest questions. What is truth? How does knowledge differ from belief? How should we live? Is the soul immortal? What is right, what is wrong, and what is justice? Philosophy teaches critical thinking, logic-based argumentation, and dissection of age-old questions. Philosophy is a foundational discipline that spans cultures, religion, epochs and borders.

  5. Body/Mind/Brain Fitness — Fitness is your body, mind and brain’s ability to meet life’s demands with strength and aplomb. Fitness encompasses cardiovascular endurance, strength, and body/mind flexibility —  all working together as you move through your day and climb mountains large and small. Beyond physical capacity, fitness is a powerful investment in the Self, in the very foundation of what it means to be well. Fitness guards against diseases, elevates mood, cognitive prowess and mental health, strengthens bones, and fuels you for the day as well as life’s greatest pleasures. Ultimately, fitness isn’t just how you look — it’s about building and caring for a body, mind and spirit that allows you to live actively, sleep soundly, and delight in what’s good and working.

  6. Human Flourishing — Human Beings are built to transcend who and where they are. While it’s tempting to anchor ourselves in our comfort zone, the truth is we are built to leave the nest and transcend who and what and where we are. It is of highest importance that we leave the familiar, enter and move through friction and failure and the messiness of learning….to where? To GROWTH. This is important because human beings are built flourish and self-actualize. Psychologist Abraham Maslow made a groundbreaking contribution when he identified the foundational human need to realize and fulfill one’s unique potential by developing our talents and living a meaningful life, rather than just checking boxes by meeting basic needs and societal expectations.

    SELF-ACTUALIZATION involves self-awareness, continuous personal growth, gratitude, creativity, and a strong sense of purpose. MondayTuesday encourages self-actualization as it is vital to us all.

Monday/Tuesday is small, mighty, and growing.
