Begin
your Journey
FOR ALL THE CHILDREN,
and, or, THOSE who are young at heart. LIFE IS A JOURNEY. To
begin any trip one must be prepared with simple tools and rules, EASY and
QUICK. This is the outline for you to be able to reach out no farther than
your own hand, holding a pencil to solve your problems. Landscape
your lawn, design your shirt, shoes, or cape. Draw highway systems, draw
plans for a radical new car to run on water, or draw plans for a solar
blanket to cover your house; draw the plans for your house, square, round,
cylindrical, or maybe even a pyramid. With angles plot the shortest route
on your journey. Speak to the wind and with its vibration capture the song
on paper. What color is the wind? If you should cry on your paper the
lines will only soften. Make war on an 8x10 inch square and not one will
die.
IF you learn art, not as a skill and trade, but as you learn letters,
simply a tool, maybe one day you can speak with Michelangelo, Pythagoras,
Rembrant, Utrillo, or Van Gogh not with words but with understanding.
