"Rain Forests Of Society"

"The arts are the rain forests of society. they produce the oxygen of freedom, and they are the early warning system when freedom is in danger." - June Wayne, artist

I admire those people who are creative and pursue their dreams through the arts. This quote is a beautiful description to me of how the arts reflect life. Freedom is the principle concept here and it is an important one to remember. I can't imagine what my life would be like without my freedom.

The arts allow us to express differing viewpoints in a wide variety of ways. And, the gift here is that we are able to do so. I have learned to remain open to differing opinions. My opinion is only one of many. If I remain open to other ideas, I may learn something new and I also may change my mind in the process. I have learned as the years go by that I do not know everything and that's okay.

Today I am happy to learn from others. I appreciate the arts in all forms. They are a gift to us all. May we learn about each other through these different art forms. The results could be peace and serenity for everyone.
