The heart of a devastated country needs life support.We can help.
Collectively, as a group of artists,
we can hold
her people gently in our hearts.
We can attempt to mend
lovingly, with the simple tools of an artist,
the
jagged gaping wounds of poverty.
We can
replant seeds of HOPE and LOVE and FAITH
deep
into the spirits of a shattered people.
We can nourish these seeds with kindness and light,
...with inspiration...
and with the exuberant joy of our art.
We can hope,
with all of our collective hearts...
that there will be that one fabulous day,
when the art we have shared might
encourage sprouts of
new growth...green, fresh, and full of innocence...
awaiting a moment in time to bloom
into bountiful trees of life...
with sturdy branches...and glorious leaves...
and strong, independent, and deeply planted roots.
We can do so very, very much...
Ahhh...
yes, we certainly can...:)
Won't you join us?
It's so very simple...just

on my sidebar.
that it won't make ripples when tossed
into a body of water."

This tribute is a Great idea. These are lovely. The devastation there is overwhelming. I tried to figure which of the many charities to make a contribution to. Selected the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. In addition to our art memorials, I hope every will consider some kind of monetary help in this unbelievable tragedy. Judy
