A Place for My Heart
Deb Hardison • February 11, 2019
Perhaps no one ever dies in cyberspace.
A friend recently prodded me to do a blog. "You've got a lot to say I bet", she said. This encouragement I tucked under my heart, ...well, maybe...
Redesigning my professional website becomes personal here, although it's all personal to me. Selecting pages to add, BLOG pops up, and you think to yourself: 'How can I be truly inspiring, encouraging, and interesting?' I really hope I can keep this interesting, for my sake as well as yours. I do have a lot to say, and possibly the courage to say it, so here and now is as good a time as any, I guess. Reader beware and please have patience with me as I get my bearings. And thanks for being here.

"...If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: " —Rudyard Kipling Excerpt from "If" Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist. - Rene Magritte Art is a discovery and development of elementary principles of nature into beautiful forms suitable for human use. - Frank Lloyd Wright Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time. - Thomas Merton The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls. - Pablo Picasso All art is but imitation of nature. - Lucius Annaeus Seneca Art is not what you see, but what you make others see. - Edgar Degas Art is the signature of civilizations. - Jean Sibelius Art is a human activity consisting in this, that one man consciously, by means of certain external signs, hands on to others feelings he has lived through, and that others are infected by these feelings and also experience them. - Leo Tolstoy
