to spread beauty in this broken world
to embrace that which is difficult and make art…
to paint
to photograph
to write
to build
to sculpt
to stitch
to make melody
to express the ineffable, eternal presence within us and among us
to be the inspiring, uplifting voice that echoes beyond ourselves
to be an artist and creator of goodness
to begin today
(1 day after the 2016 election and presidential loss of Hillary Clinton.)
