The Growth Manifesto

Humanities and arts have always been essential to all human cultures. Their research may encourage greater intercultural understanding and build the groundwork for a more civically engaged lifestyle. They can also help you think critically, perform creatively, and prosper in an environment that is constantly evolving. Throughout this semester, I learned the importance of art through humanities. The visual arts, such as painting, sculpture, and architecture; music, dance, theater, or dramatic arts; and literature. They are the academic subjects that focus on human thought, emotion, and engagement. I chose my manifesto to be about growth because I felt majority of my blog post had some sort of relation with growth. Whether it was physically or spiritually. We have the motivation and the tools to become the best versions of ourselves thanks to personal growth and development. Many of the assignments throughout the semester I felt related a lot to growth. One of the blogs, which was the analysis of a poem we chose, and I had chose “The Great Sea” by Uvavnuk. The poem was about how the poet connected with the great sea. I felt this poem ties in with growth because in the poem he starts off as a weed, which is something that is undesirable. But as he advances, numerous great forces drive him onward. It was a transformation from being a weed to finishing the path to joy throughout his life. Another one was the playlist I made which had the theme of youth. As everyone knows, throughout life you grow and one of the phases in that growth process is your youth. Since it is on this journey that people realize the immense power they possess, this adventure deserves to be appreciated and embraced. Youth is a period for adventure, self-discovery, and finding one's calling. A framework for youth development is established, and youth development is seen as an ongoing, unavoidable process in which all young people are involved. It's important to enjoy each period of life, including childhood and maturity. Each of us leads a unique life, and the path to discovering who we are and what we desire involves a number of stages. A part of growth includes making mistakes and finding good coping mechanisms. One of our first assignments was the find an image of something captivating or interesting to you, then describe how it makes you feel or how it expresses one’s sensibility and values. I chose to write about the sunset because of its importance to me. To me, the beautiful sunset serves as a sign that the day is coming to a close and gives us hope for the future. We have the chance to reset everything we've done and reinvent ourselves when the sun sets. To make up for our errors, learn from them, show our appreciation, and offer a respite from the day's stress. It represents the beauty of life and serves as a sort of getaway from the real world. Sunsets are an incredible piece of art in my opinion and can be more than just an optical illusion. Speaking within the different kinds of arts, with growth comes evolvement. Several forms of art has evolved tremendously over the years. Nearly all human societies practice art in one form or another, and it can be said that this is one of the traits that makes humans unique among other species. The visual arts are now deeply entwined with language such as poetry, song, and storytelling. Then there is music, dance, ritual, marking life milestones, death, religion, and politics. Art through humanities can tie to growth is many different ways. And the growth part still hasn’t ended. There is yet so many things to discover and that’s what excites me most. This course served as a basic examination of the humanities' genres and subjects. Various genres, including music, the visual arts, drama, literature, and philosophy, which were covered through readings, lectures, and class discussions and it served its purpose of filling me with knowledge of humanities.

“The sky and the strong wind

have moved the spirit inside me

till I am carried away

trembling with joy.”

The great sea

frees me, moves me,

as a strong river carries a weed.

Earth and her strong winds

move me, take me away,

and my soul is swept up in joy.

The Great Sea has set me in motion, set me adrift, moving me as the weed moves in a river. The arch of sky and mightiness of storms have moved the spirit within me, till I am carried away, trembling with joy.

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/157592/the-great-sea

The poem I chose for this assignment is called “The Great Sea” by Uvavnuk, translated by Jane Hirshfield. It captivated me just through the title as one of the things I value most about this earth is the sea. It was short but beautifully written poem of how the poet connected with the great sea. I have been fascinated by the imagery of the sea since I was a little girl. The poem addresses the big sea that pulls us internally. Whether caused by wind or the sea, this inner movement is founded in joy and related to the spirit. We are psychologically and emotionally nourished by water. A couple literary devices I picked up while reading this poem was the poets use of both imagery and repetition. It made me question what was it that he found so great about the sea because of the amount of times it was repeated. Although, the imagery is the more noticeable poetic element in her work. He starts off as a weed, which is something that is undesirable. But as he advances, numerous great forces drive him onward. These three forces include the earth, the river, and the weather. These forces serve as metaphors for both predictable and unforeseen events. The earth and the weather are unexpected forces, while predictable forces are ones like a river. It’s almost as it was a transformation from being a weed to finishing the path to joy throughout his life. So this organic narrative was everything that shifted one into pure happiness.

"The great sea has sent me adrift. It moves me as the weed in a great river. Earth and the great weather move me, have carried me away and move my inward parts with joy. " - Uvavnuk I had a wonderful time feeding my soul with the ocean, celebrating with my wife for our anniversary. (at Breakwater)
