抽象艺术与人类文化一样古老。在大多数时候，艺术是人类与宇宙秩序之间交流的一部分。艺术是滋养生命繁衍力的礼物。艺术是与祖先创造力的交流--对一个诗意空间的召唤，创造物从这个空间进入物质领域。本文探讨了艺术作为一种挖掘现实的无形力量的方式。我认为，人类可以体验这些力量作为活力（喜悦/欲望给予），并可以通过诗歌创作来传递它们。通过艺术，人类有能力滋养生命，就像自然生产力如何从看不见的领域进入具体领域一样。这种能力是艺术创作的源泉。它是参与赋予生命的宇宙的重要手段。尽管西方对艺术的理解与这种态度相去甚远，但艺术仍然是一个不以经验而是以理性手段来容纳活力的领域。在当前的全球生活危机中，记住艺术的潜力不仅是联系，而且是对生活的贡献，这一点至关重要。环境教育的课程应该建立在对生命的直接感知和表达想象的基础上。
Abstract Art is as old as human culture. For most of the time, art was part of an exchange between humans and the cosmic order. Art was meant as a gift to nourish the fecundity of life. Art was communication with ancestral creational powers — the invocation of a poetic space from which creation entered the material realm. This paper explores art as a way of tapping into the invisible forces of reality. I argue that humans can experience these forces as aliveness (joy/desire to give) and can transmit them by poetic creation. Through art, humans have a capacity to nourish life, in parallel to how natural productivity unfolds from the unseen into the embodied domain. This capacity is a source of artistic creation. It is a crucial means to participate in a life-giving cosmos. Although the Western understanding of art is far from this attitude, art has remained the domain where aliveness is accommodated not with empirical, but with imaginational means. In the current global crisis of life, it is crucial to remember the potential of art not only to relate but to contribute to aliveness. Programs in environmental education should build on the direct perception and expressive imagination of aliveness.
