The Door Is Open. What is the relationship between body, mind, spirit, creativity, beauty, world, ugliness, and the fear of spongecats? 28 August, 2009. Hating the sin, loving the hypocrite. This is scary to post because it's going to tick some people off, but here goes. 1) they harm no one (define harm? Well does it hurt? Did you have a choice? Religious texts contain varied and often conflicting information. This is how we get one group focusing on transubstantiation, one group focusing on converti...

The Door Is Open. What is the relationship between body, mind, spirit, creativity, beauty, world, ugliness, and the fear of spongecats? 18 April, 2012. All over the world, throughout human history, people have sung together - around the fire or the table or at worship or in the tavern, at war and at peace. It bonds us, helps us express emotion otherwise inexpressable. Singing is so good for us, it ought to be written into the bill of rights. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Door is Open. I took this phrase from two sources:. The U2 song "Gloria", and my favorite Rumi poem:. The Breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.

The Door Is Open. What is the relationship between body, mind, spirit, creativity, beauty, world, ugliness, and the fear of spongecats? 20 February, 2009. Artist Manifesto - draft 3 of 3,529. Become the art you wish to see in the world. I call for the elevation of kitsch and the worship - or at least close rapturous scrutiny - of false idols with a grain of truth inside. How do events conspire to make the world the way it is? Does the art we make actually contribute to the motions of culture? Charlie and...

The Door Is Open. What is the relationship between body, mind, spirit, creativity, beauty, world, ugliness, and the fear of spongecats? 25 August, 2010. Ending for Mark Twain's story, A Stranger in Vienna. The contest is over; I wrote an ending but never submitted it because heck, I needed way more than 300 words, which would barely have done justice to many of Twain's better paragraphs. In my sheer verbosity, I disqualified my little filly before she even left the gate. The first part, by Mark Twain).

Silly cartoon for art nerds: Et in Arcadia Eggo. If you know this painting by Poisson, (yes that means "Fish" in French), you know its name is Et in Arcadia Ego. See, these naive shepherds in paradise have stumbled across a tomb, and are trying to figure out what it is for. Wow, dude, somebody died? Links to this post. 10 March, 2010. 8226; Dive in! I was...
