Just a snippet of our amazing hands. The shapes they can create. The tools they can wield. The beauty they can touch. The helping hand of a neighbor, friend or stranger. The hands that feed us and the hands we have bitten. The clapping hands at a concert or play. The expression of joy. A noise maker. A hair comber. A button helper. And on and on, but most important hands that can pull life towards us or push it away. Each of us, with our hearts and minds living, breathing in the present, can work toward a connection to our individual path in life. Or at least help us understand our choices better!!
Reflect the positive in life. The imagination and the wonder of it all. Life is the journey and choices are the footsteps. I like to step lightly and embrace the possibilities that occur each day, each hour, each minute. Kindness is my guide and humor my staff...........johntaskerart@gmail.com

'A rose is a rose is a rose", as stated by Gertrude Stein in a 1913 poem. Existentially speaking, we all describe the world around us using our own words. Seeing the world, breathing the world, hearing the world and touching the world is a personal reality for each of us. We should (when possible) try and listen to each others views, have a conversation and share those experiences for the betterment of all......

The process of sharing is motivating. It makes the mind flow, the heart beat. The world seems brighter and the air fresher. Bringing a creation into the physical world so others can see your mind and heart is cathartic. There are so many ways to reach out, to express oneself, to be a part of the human party. Let us all become ourselves and be ourselves for as long as possible. Be solid and flexible. Be happy!!!

Knowledge is fun and there are a lot of measured facts that better help us to discover where we are in space. Many people stare at the ground more than they look to the sky and beyond. I enjoy doing both. When I look to the evening sky the moon puts a smile on my face.....The moon has been a constant for humane kind. It is a time machine of sorts. Think of the billions and billions of people who have utilized the moon for all reasons, I.E. Poetry, love, direction, religion, encouragement, solace, peace and yes, war. Enjoy the heavens.....It is your turn to find the wonderment....

Everyone knows we need a little more love in this world. If we can reach out to each other just a little. If we can move a small distance away from our egos and make someone laugh, feel wanted, be included!! If we become good listeners to others we can all become more whole and colorful. If we are respectful of others and their personal space then the seed of reciprocation has a chance to grow. When appropriate a hug always helps and kind words always helps too.....Have a sweet day.

The world is a beautiful place, but one cannot see it exclusively through rose tinted glasses. Bad things happen all the time, but good things happen all the time too. If we can choose, if we are allowed to find happiness and safety then we can begin to find the peace within ourselves and consequently within the world and amongst others.
