What about a Spring Celebration? Everyone could do one piece of their particular art celebrating – Yay! Spring is finally coming! And share it somehow. Like I could put it on the window of my office.

Renewing… Nature is like that…

I like special dates, and days. Thanks for recognizing JC’s BD! I celebrate the 17th of the month because I started morning pages on that date. (usually its just a little celebration, a reminder it becomes of how far I have come, and where I am definitely going, and want to go- and I plan a bigger artists date for the year anniversary) Anyways this idea is a little thing I started doing…ever since Al Gore made “famous” the date of 7/7/7, I try to do a small but deliberate act of improvement in my neighborhood, or to do something that makes me feel I contributed a little back of the much I have been given, and I have found that there are several themes I return to often- the peace movement, being green and friendly to the earth, prayer for others and myself- but it is possible to grow exponentially by simply sharing the idea. (I saw a piece of art work on the street today called “exponentially cubed”). There has been documented proof that a small number of people can change the world. Even on a micro level, to change something, even one thing in my city, my neighborhood, my street, (yes I often find the change that is needed is me, and so I have also worked on changing me to change my world). On the date of 4/4 I am especially mindful of diversity, equality and human rights, and thankful to Dr. King for his dream- let’s see what it inspires me to do on this date. It may be as simple as stepping beyond my comfort zone and going into an ethnic neighborhood and going to a cafe. It may be that I allow myself to open a little more to possibility thinking on these dates. MAybe it can help someone else as it does me, so that is why I share it.

“There’s a magic feeling, feel it everywhere- there’s a celebration, deep within a song. LISTEN TO YOUR HEART, and Hold On To Your Dreams” (R. Emmet, M. Levine, G. Moore)

Happy Autumn
Happy Spring
Happy Summer
Happy Winter!

I’ve been having ideas about the various patterns in nature
“Intelligent Design” what an understatement
The best artist on earth gets awards
for even getting close to an image of the creation

I love the recurring patterns the veins in a leaf = the branches = the roots = the butterfly’s wing veins = our bronchioles
It is expressed myriad ways around the earth
It would be cool to do a work including one leaf from everywhere, or other natural patterns patterns from everywhere
I am fascinated my my tiger cat’s stripes they are like a real tiger’s and he thinks he’s one

Can we do it together in a file online somehow?

Tell me what do you think about the file… How could it function…
