" ... so this is for us.
This is for us who sing, write, dance, act, study, run and love
and this is for doing it even if no one will ever know
because the beauty is in the act of doing it.
Not what it can lead to...

Don’t try to present your art by making other people read or hear or see or touch it; make them feel it. Wear your art like your heart on your sleeve and keep it alive by making people feel a little better. Feel a little lighter. Create art in order for yourself to become yourself
and let your very existence be your song, your poem, your story.
Let your very identity be your book.
Let the way people say your name sound like the sweetest melody.
So go create. Take photographs in the wood, run alone in the rain and sing your heart out high up on a mountain
where no one will ever hear
and your very existence will be the most hypnotising scar.
Make your life be your art
and you will never be forgotten."
-Charlotte Eriksson

First, let me say that that was a quote was a surprise...it sounds exactly how I see you living your life!
Second, if anyone in Colorado or close to is considering classes in Loveland, let me encourage you to come...the classes are so much fun and encouraging and there's always really wonderful inspiration in the mountain of life art on paper that Kelly brings.
