I plan to go out there with some visual art, shooting in photography and on video what I write about, and will exhibit the collection in the months ahead. Maybe I will mix my poetry in.....I want to bring each flash right into your life...so you can see one that is already in there....and so you will be sure to see the next one...
You have a Grid of Life....Four Great Flashes of Life....they give you the pursuit of happiness...they do not guarantee it, nor are they the pursuit itself....this is the way, the path, the teaching plan to prepare you to jump when you see it, to feel like you just saw an old friend...
My writing is meant to inspire with the possibility, to give new energy.. tools for the search...my stories and others' whose lives were stretched to deal with the flashes, and to enjoy the wonder of it all...these are, after all, extraordinary, special gifts...some we do not , can not know their origin..
...when you see it, you may show it by laughter...your laughter across the airplane, in the bus, hotel lobby, in your living room, even in a quiet place....laugh out loud....it feels good when you connect your life with a truth of the universe....sometimes, it is a long, sustained chuckle, sometimes a cry...these moments let us know we have just come across one of our life moments from which we could never go back...but, we can move on with renewed hope...
...When these gifts happen....your next days may seem to feel like blue sky in the morning....that is natural...often that continues for a long,long, long time...
The fun project of great surprise is to host a talk show. Jorge Reinoza, my colleague at the university, and I had some fun preparing a video audition and his great painting "The Factory of Dreams", shown above, was featured as our visual. This will live on as living art way beyond anything of current business. That is our challenge...to put some contribution here on the planet...this is an amazing example...we seized the moment...
This is all new.... as I travelled as an international educator this past year. It started innocently....I acted on my intuition...it now is exciting to be with friends who share this passion and we are building an Arts Initiative with new direction and form...
...I am reminded when I try to examine my own passion and its source, I come back to ... we are not alone...there are no lost people...they are out there, somewhere, we wish to touch their lives and be "together again"...so very much of our lives and our programs and projects are driven by this desire to be with the ones we miss and cherish and value....
...we will have that chance... by the grace of light, favorable breezes, and the grace of angels, and agents of insight......we may be alone in our artistic creation....but because the ones we have loved and lost, and the ones we love today are out there, we are not ever truly alone....
...almost time to put on a pot of coffee and get ready for a new day....another blue sky morning....
