The Journey to Art With A Purpose

It’s been a month here in front of the ocean taking some time to feed my soul. Nature is so magical, so healing, so powerful. She re-constructs, cleans, and rejuvenates in such a magical way….. Now I return to the NYC… To work , to speak , to write from another point of view, to be in my home and from there take new action . “Before I go, I take in the ocean and the sand.  I try to find out how I can keep that with me, and integrate it in my NYC home. I must BE Present, I must BE FULLY; I must be complete and open to give the best of me. And if I fail, forget or doubt the memory of the ocean and the peace I felt here, I will be find it again in any ounce of water or human life around me and it will manifest again…  I look into the sea. While I seek guidance, I realize that under the sea there are SO MANY LAYERS, and such DEPTH that we may never understand.  This water that now surrounds me -as my body enters it and I allow its temperature to change my own- it is...
