AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

If there is light in the soul,
There will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person,
There will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the house,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world.

Several months ago I had a project with UNHCR in Iran about Afghan refugee children.wow It was a great experience for me and unforgettable. Many artists and I went to the place where Afghan children lived there.
we tried to teach them how to show their passion with painting.
The name of this project was ''The Unheard Voices of Refugee Childern'' was the theme for world Refugee Day celebrations around the world,20''June 2007.

driving home this morning i think on how
the mountains look so anxious
troubled to some effect by something only mountains understand
and clouds crowd around like pushy fat pigeons
winter is packing to leave

why a picture is nothing
but a painting
waiting i said
i said waiting
to be painted it screams out
in bloody red rage and
gasps of gifted yellow
it bellows some blues
and then
okay
a little black

just received this sweet work of writing, about art. It's from my stepdaughter, Marianne, whom I raised as my own. She's 24 and off, living in Chicago now. I've felt these feelings and I know many of you have too, so I want to share it with you. Comments welcomed.

I was exposed to this film "Zeitgeist" about a week ago. It is incredible in its scope and implications.

This is a MUST SEE for anyone with an opinion on American Politics.

Pass it on ... far and wide!
