Poetry, indeed, cannot be translated; and, therefore, it is the poets that preserve the languages; for we would not be at the trouble to learn a language if we could have all that is written in it just as well in a translation. But as the beauties of poetry cannot be preserved in any language except that in which it was originally written, we learn the language.
”Samuel Johnson, lexicographer (1709-1784)

The artist brings something into the world that didn't exist before, and he does it without destroying something else.

Language is a form of human reason, which has its internal logic of which man knows nothing.
”-Claude Levi-Strauss, anthropologist (1908-2009)
Ethiopians imagine their gods as black and snub-nosed; Thracians blue-eyed and red-haired. But if horses or lions had hands, or could draw and fashion works as men do, horses would draw the gods shaped like horses and lions like lions, making the gods resemble themselves.
”Xenophanes, philosopher and poet (c.570-475 BCE)
Our choicest plans / have fallen through, / our airiest castles / tumbled over, / because of lines / we neatly drew / and later neatly / stumbled over.
”-Piet Hein, poet and scientist (1905-1996)

In this passionate talk, Eve Ensler declares that there is a girl cell in us all -- a cell that we have all been taught to suppress. She tells heartfelt stories of girls around the world who have overcome shocking adversity and violence to reveal the astonishing strength of being a girl.
Inspired by intimate conversations with friends, Eve Ensler wrote The Vagina Monologues. The play recounts tender, funny, gripping and horrifying stories she gathered from hundreds of women about their bodies, their sexual experiences, and yes, their vaginas. Since its first staging in 1996, it has been translated into more than 45 languages, performed in more than 120 countries and re-created as an HBO film.
The Vagina Monologues' success allowed Ensler to create V-Day,, a movement to stop violence against women and girls, which has so far raised $70 million to prevent violence and protect abused women. Ensler has also drawn praise for The Good Body, a play that cuts to women's obsession with their appearance, and her film What I Want My Words To Do To You, that portrays a writing group she leads at a correctional facility for women. Today, she continues to find new projects and push the envelope, with a new book about the secret lives of girls to be released in February 2010 and a film project in conjunction with National Geographic about women caught in the Bosnian war also on the horizon.
"Eve is bringing women back, she's giving us our souls back."-Glenn Close
Sun reaches over the rooftops, a gallery hidden between two buildings is
stoic and waiting for you to discover the old angels there...
A column on a street is rusting and cracking and has been marked many times over with the
logos of street walkers, the watchers, the urban designers...
an American eagle to remind us that the Rome of our time is in our New York, stnding tall, standing proud,
standing One for All...
looking up, looking down, catch a glimpse of cutting edge design and signage
on every store, or building, most places are unmarked that you really want to
check out... see what you find...
Almost everything you need, is all you need...
an old suitcase on a floor in a loft in Brooklyn, listening to the music of your soul, the harmony
in your mind, you are content, you are at peace, you are singing, a song you have known your
entire life... set in motion...
Clumsy, Outspoken, Graceful, Shy, Laughing, Tear-stained, Shameful,
Happy, Self-Conscious, Full of Pride... You ARE Chosen...
The you I know...
Can tell the real from the fake
but knows when to keep it to yourself
forgets names
but never forgets a kindness...
signs are everywhere, and everyone has something...
Dreams of a future with meaning and simplicity, where a picket fence would do just fine...
The soul can split the sky in TWO and let the face of God SHINE THROUGH...
A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease. Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings, while incense is ever flowing from the balsam bells and leaves. No wonder the hills and groves were God's first temples, and the more they are cut down and hewn into cathedrals and churches, the farther off and dimmer seems the Lord himself.
”-John Muir, naturalist, explorer, and writer (1838-1914)

Ah the dream machine
Makes it hard to see
If I could stand outside myself and watch it come to me
I'd make the dream
Filter down to my fingers and rip at the fools head
and follow your scent that lingers...
If a thing of beauty is a joy forever, Why does ugly seem to last so much longer? and win so many more design awards?

Liberate yourself. See life through an artists eyes, wear, dress, unlike any other. Currently at the Craft Alliance Gallery in the Delmar Loop, there is an interesting exhibition featuring dress made by unlikely objects; used coffee filters, tin tops, papers, wire, and mixed media. A quaint gallery right in the heart of The Loop (one of St. Louis's best streets) , it houses beautiful artwork from artist all over America particularly in the Missouri area. There is eye candy for the fashionista, the soccer mom, the corporate guru, the yoga wellness woman, and the discerning art lover.
"Three artists explore ideas of the female garment as sculptural art form. The unusual materials range from wire to steel and coffee filters. What is considered fashion and body covering becomes redefined as a canvas for social commentary, whimsical ideas and engaging surfaces. "
