Artistic ability never got anyone anywhere…. and it certainly doesn’t help with life lessons at ALL! the world puts too much value on being smart; Good grades, high GPA, making a lot of money, being involved, making something of yourself in the world… I once asked a tender heart what he wished for out of life and the reply was simple and beautiful. Not money, not fame, not intelligence, but simply to be happy. I was overcome with a feeling of warmth and contentedness, knowing that i was not alone in my desire to simply feel whole. I was not blessed with the qualities valued in society, but rather given the gift of a beautiful mind and gentle hands.
