This is science people! I have no time to quote studies and experts as we can all agree I am an expert on just about everything, (Linda’s words…not mine).
Current wisdom reasons that studying the arts, reading poetry, listening to music or letting art flow over you has a measurable effect on brain structure. It may allow the brain to better focus by creating new synapses and pathways. It can clarify to reason and make better decisions.
Additionally time spent reading poetry or listening to music is time not wasted poisoning your brain listening to the egregious lies and insane rhetoric spewed by the scum-sucking bottom-feeders that populate Fox News.
The very definition of Win-Win!
