"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free."

Michelangelo

I'm a huge fan of Michelangelo and this quote is just too perfect. That's what we artists do, including all of the arts. We look underneath and find what's hiding within. So much of the beauty is in the carving process itself, as much as the beauty of the finished work.

On the eve of a new year, I would like to wish all those who drop in here a beautiful 2005, filled with lots of creativity and insight, love, laughter, and inner peace.

God Bless.

Author: Loraine [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 01/ 1/05 12:57 Basically, from what I found, the year of the chicken/rooster/bird will be much like the year before, except the water element will be missing so things will be yikes more intense. Unfinished business from the previous year will continue and wind up this year. Here's more info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_New_Year [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
