New Pages: April 1st

Here's the latest from the April 1st Project:

Make the most of your regrets...

To regret deeply is to live afresh.

- Thoreau

I discovered two new artists that sent me on a hunt for images: Charles-Marie Dulac and Pierre-Paul Prud'hon.

Another quote:

Law is mind without reason. - Aristotle

A few more quotes:

The basic question is what vision do you aspire to? - Abraham Maslow

All art is an imitation of nature. - Seneca

A man can stand anything except a succession of ordinary days. - Goethe

Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination. - Bertrand Russell

I have been a Bruce Springsteen fan for decades and was pleased to read the above article out of the Houston Chronicle.

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. - wise words from William Jennings Bryan

And then there's David...

The infinite is Brahman. From it, from this Self, space came to be; from space, the wind; from the wind, fire; from fire, water; from water, earth; from earth, the plants; from plants, food; and from food, the body of man. This body of man, composed of the essence of food is the physical sheath of the Self. - Taittiriya Upanishad 2.1

Discovered The Vegetarian Epicure by Anna Thomas.

I really love the ad below.

The western images are from illustrated letters by Frederick Remington.

All turning goes as it will. - a line from a Hafez poem

All know that the drop merges into the ocean, but few know that the ocean merges into the drop. - Kabir

October Update on the April 1st Project

I haven't spent as much time on the web in the past few weeks as I've had my head down writing. But I did discover a few new artists on a trail that I found. They are:
Ben Nicholson
Patrick Heron
Paula Rego
Stanley Spencer
Stanley William Hayter
Luc Tuymans

We were invited to an art exhibit featuring Melinda Buie. Her cows were fantastic. I don't think the photos do them justice. I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed them. Very nice.

We also went to see Karen Armstrong speak as part of the Progressive Forum. I have read her Short History of Myth and really enjoyed it. She's a religious historian and has a wonderful message. Here's a clip of her at TED.


And then on Saturday, we were in the audience at the River Oaks Chamber Orchestra opening concert. Brian Lewis brought tears to my eyes. He, along with all of the musicians, are fantastic. Joel Smirnoff conducted. They are a must see.

Here are a few clips from the April 1st journal:

If anyone is out there reading, and I know you are thanks to Google Analytics, comment on what's here. I'd love to hear some voices.
