What inspires me these days?
The human fragility inspires me.... fragile as the water but that resists himself...

American Spirit Cigarettes and Alcohol are my two biggest inspirations at the moment. Oh and I forgot to mention a third one; East Village dive bars. :)

Arjuna wrote me now and I am happy about his message. "Amazing to be able to connect with so many ecellent musicians through harmonics. Looking forward to the time when we can all meet and sing harmonics together."

Arjuna could be my father and his music inspires me really. He is really very spartan to use the internet ;-) but he was member #5 of OMN. Now we have 520 members just in one year since I launched this network. This fact that he joined my network as one of the first inspires me that I send a sharing email to all my members with happy halloween greetings - -

at first would send an email to all my friends of all my 40 related or awesome networks on Ning but then I thought - OMG - I send an invitation to some friends just before to join a new group. Hopefully some of you here from brooklynartproject will join - I invited maybe 50 or 80 new members during the Candle4Tibet campaign because I was very inspired by one broadcast message - one of them my mate David Califa. Okay - it is past and I am happy to be here - as a artwork lover and I have to see that the kind of music of my network is exotic and people can get headaches if they listen the vibration of overtone music. lol ...

Lately, in November, I have thought about all the victims of domestic violence that speak out through their art because they have been trained to be verbally silent. They stay silent through necessity but yet their minds, hearts, thoughts, and hands speak out about the violence in non-violent ways throughout their art. Whether their art is watercolour, oil painting, collage, writing or photography, they all shout the same message, "You have silenced my mouth, but my message will be shouted out to a global audience with echos louder than those from the Grand Canyon, I speak! I speak! I speak!

No one can silence the human soul, spirit or silence what is in the human heart, not even the violence of an abuser can silence any message of help, hope, and help me so I can help you.

No one can stop the message. Now while these abusers trick themselves into thinking that they have silenced the women who live with them, they sit there smugly thinking that their secret is held tight in the mind and silent mouths of their prey. No one can stop the message.

I urge all women to speak out against domestic violence through their art, today, here, now and all over this world. Speak out. And keep on speaking out against the violence that society incorrectly labels, "domestic". There is nothing domestic about violence and nothing violent about domestics.

Speak out. I beg you; speak out. Paint out, sing out, write out, color out, act out, but continue, continue to speak out.

I am continually inspired by the mysteries that lay around every corner of the things that are and are yet to be. life is the great mystery. I always feel most alive when confronting the unknown, for it is thought that leads to action and action is that which creates the world we know and live in. we are all individuals living in this one world making our own worlds in it.

It is this notion of the sublime mystery that informs my work.
