Art is the language of this planet,
It knows no boundaries, owes no allegiances
It illuminates the truth; it speaks to the soul.
Art shows us what is – with a better understanding.
Art is food for the hunger of the heart.
Art is solace in the lonely places.
Art grasps an empty hand with love
And shows the jaded vision a new vista.
Art endures and takes the artist with it
Into an eternity of objectivity.
Those who transform our perception of the world
Are forever part of the altered image.
