Art is what we call it when we are able to create something new that changes someone.*
Seth Godin
Our society does not teach us how to be an effective giver of gifts. The schools don’t emphasise it. The popular culture its confused by it.**
David Brooks
The possibility of beginning again –
Just sounds too good to be true –
Yet beginnings are the gift I long to bring –
It’s the receiving that is the hardest thing.
