I am for an art that warms my soul like the rays of the sun.
I am for an art that tickles my nose.
I am for an art that runs through my veins burning with each beat.
I am for an art that smells brand new and is cool and clean.
I am for an art that thrives in the ocean crashing upon me with the force of the moon.
I am for keeping a journal that only I can see.
I am for an art that spills on the ground because it can’t be contained inside of me any longer.
I am for the art of making babies; babies that coo; babies that cry; babies that smile, and babies that love.
I am for an art that calms the winds and a restless child.
I am for the art of silence.
