JUDE HARZER FINE ART

When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.”~ Paul Coelho

A young and vital child knows no limit to his own will, and it is the only reality to him. It is not that he wants at the outset to fight other wills, but that they simply do not exist for him. Like the artist, he goes forth to the work of creation, gloriously alone.

Know Thyself

"...that what your heart thinks is great, is great.The soul's emphasis is always right." Ralph Waldo Emerson
This was followed by a comment by NDW: "The mind is the last part of yourself to listen to.It thinks of everything you can lose. The heart thinks of everything you can give, and the soul thinks of everything you are."
Knowing who you are, and everything you have to offer, is key to living the life for which you were intended.
I am starting a commission,working on a collaborative arts project with very talented and amazing female artists and will hear Judy Chicago speak this week. Awesome!

Passion

“Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.”

Joss Whedon
