Art for art's sake is an empty phrase...
Art for the sake of the true...
Art for the sake of the good and the beautiful...
...That is the faith I am searching for...
                                 George Sand

Art that speaks to our soul is true and beautiful....
...the truth is, art comes from our soul...
...and for that we can say...
...."Happy Thanksgiving"....

Now We Are at Thanksgiving, We Turn Toward Santa...

Someone, with a young heart,  asked me where Santa Claus comes from...the North Pole?

I said, not really knowing, of course, "No!"...

Santa comes from the North Star....the farthest place in the universe....

Straight to our heart.....

More than the speed of light....

With the Speed of Love....

If you have or know any young ones....this is the message....

If you are young enough to believe....you know that speed!

Message of Thanksgiving...!

A tough love message of Thanksgiving...for those who run...
....and those we want to reach, but we cannot..

If you hate me....I am truly sorry...
If you remember me....I am with you....
If you understand me...I know you...

If you see my heart...I see yours too...
If you wish to thank me....I just want to thank you, too...

But if you want to love me....
Then, I say,...I love you too...

And....if you want to love life....
...more important...
I love it with you....
...we see it as two....through...
....one window....

If you want to thank someone...do so....
...But the best Thanksgiving is to just....
......to be it with you....
.....and for you to be it with you....

.....deep down....

Greet the sunrise and smell the coffee and have a fresh morning....

Pick Ten...

"Pick ten people you are thankful for...."
....I attended a church Thanksgiving dinner last night...
....that was the challenge...

Got me listing my ten and why and what....
Chances are, if you are reading this, you are one of them...

I gave thanks like this...

God's speed and safety....
...to all those in the air...
...to all those on the sea...
...all the souls everywhere...
...who defend our right to be free....

...to those on land....
...who extend a hand...
...we know them or not...
...with a prayer or a thought...

...to those we love...
...who know us or not...
...heart is the home...
...mind is our own...
...soul is what we are brought...

God's speed and safety to those who protect us....
...Happy Thanksgiving!

People of Heart

Cold stares....inquiring eyes...hard looks.......lowering skies...

Warm eyes....eager to say 'hi'...eager looks wanting to smile...

So many are there...fear, shy, not too good to say "hi"...

Want to smile....go the next mile...

I extend the hand to you....

You extend to me with who...

...you are...

...I am here for you...not far...

Cities of Heart

Tokyo is heart....and art....

When you see a smile....it goes a long mile....
If you ever see deep down....
There is never a frown....

It is with honor....from the heart....
Japon, we see the Creator's art...

It is here...
Forever, we hear...
....and have no fear...

Blessed smile...
....forever dear...

Soul to Heart

Leaving Seoul for Tokyo..
Sort of like leaving soul to go to heart..
Soul is deep, cannot get to it...it is the deepest thing, but how do we possibly communicate..?

Heart is there, can see it, he and she feels it and says back, "yes"....I see you...

Mind is waiting for me back home....thinking again like always...

Soul would be really amazing to connect with if we could, but soul must answer our call...

Heart answers our call.  

Mind is always there....wherever we are...

Our whole being travels these places....some give us more, some less....

Tokyo, can't wait to see you...
