Yes. SO well expressed. My view on Gandhi. Never shared it. But you and this art work did.

Art being "a moment to look up to that will never disappoint us" is a great idea.

Wonderful art; what a talent. And I appreciate the sentiment of an individual armed with a strong conviction achieving great things… it speaks to a specific struggle in my life right now. Thank you, Michael.

Do you care to comment further? If it deals with being an artist and parent, I think you are doing an exceptional job.

Thank you, I really appreciate that, truly. It is about my kids, you are very astute 😄. If only I could time travel and see how my kids will turn out based on the choices I’ve made for them! But I suppose every parent feels that angst and has to do their best using every resource at their disposal and hope the kids forgive them for the things they got wrong.

I am reading a book called the Snow Leopard and the author, Peter Matthiessen writes “My anger is wasting energy I badly need, and realizing this, it is easy to put it aside.” It was a bit of a breakthrough to me as I realized I was being a vampire to my own energy by focusing on things I can’t control, and seeing this art page dovetails nicely with that idea.
