…bud or bug?

June 26, 2008 · 1 Comment

"We think too small,

like the frog at the bottom of the well.
He thinks
the sky is only as big as the top of the well.
If he surfaced, he would have an entirely different view."

Mao Tse-Tung

    Wow, Lisa. That quote was exactly what I needed to hear today. I am in a really tough situation, I feel like I’m down the well. I have to remember that, even though I can only see a little bit of sky, even though just for today seems so hard, there’s a whole blue sky out there someday.
    Thank you.

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
