If you appreciate your world, then you might pick something up that personally benefits your spiritual journey and increases your wisdom. You could see the world as it is, with its own perspective, and with a touch of insight. You could learn how to look at a needle on a pine tree, how to smell a racoon, how to drink a cup of tea, how to feel your hair, your dress, your clothes, how to touch your feet on the ground, how to walk. At the perceptual level, everything is artistic in some sense, but there has to be communication and real perception.
