When I watch a Miyazaki film I can’t help but think about his attunement to the world, the presence it requires to transmute the real world into a fantastical one. That’s the interesting contradiction of writers and artists, I suppose: alienation is a necessity, but so is participation. The point of getting better is to be more in the world.
Every person you meet is a creative artist who takes the events of life and, over time, creates a very personal way of seeing the world. Like any artist, each person takes the experiences of a lifetime and integrates them into a complex representation of the world.

Artists see other than what is given to be seen in the “real world.” They seldom ever see or love places, faces, things for what they in themselves really are. Nor for that matter, do they even know their impressions of them as they in themselves really are. What matters to them is to see other or, better yet, to see more than what lies before

If you look at the trees and the mountains through windows that are wet from the rain of a storm, everything looks blurred and misshapen. Recognize your filters. Everything becomes beautiful when you change.
