The world is magical;

there are good people in it.

Inherent in life is fun.

Art is the mirror

Art is the mirror, perhaps the only one,

in which we can see our true collective

face. We must honour its sacred

function. We must let art help us.

And sometimes it just manifest itself even if you not looking, or don’t know what you looking for. Trouble do it for most folks I think … Yeah, It. God ain’t a he or a she, but a It.

Incomparable

Guided by my heritage of a love of beauty and respect for strength – in search of my mother’s garden, I found my own.

Since you are like no other being ever created since the beginning of time, you are incomparable.
