Chapter Three - Purpose
30/8/2018 Fortunately, we live Not just to get by, But truly live, With passion.
12/5/2020 The purpose of art Is to open your eyes And all senses, To open your mind To know more of yourself And the universe, To connect time, In our whole history as human beings Of longing for beauty and compassion for the other.14

It is warmer than I thought today, The sun decided to come out for a moment And shine on the yellow-orange weathered bricks. It then comes through my body by the window That I can feel a part of me lighting up, Glowing, waving to the beam as I am solar powered. I noticed the momentary beauty of the day Is also treasured by the eyes of an artist, As I see my glow in her eyes.
