I wanted to encourage any of you out there to check out Heron Dance. I have had his lovely drawings and words for years now and was delighted to find he has an online presence, AND a free daily inspirational writing (Well, I would call it that). Here's a link and his writing for today and one small piece of his amazing art...
If you can...send him $5....as he asks for nothing and gives much... ;-)
Loving you, loving me in such a way!

March 8th, from Archibald Campbell's Journal
When  times get rough, when I can’t figure out how to make it all work  financially, I tell myself that part of what the world looks to artists  for is courage. Financial courage, courage of conviction. Faith. Belief  in the value of the work. Sometimes that belief needs to transcend  reality. You can’t be foolish. You can’t jump off high cliffs to see if  you can fly. But our faith in our work, our willingness to go to  extraordinary lengths to manifest our vision, must be outside the  ordinary. Our discipline must be outside the ordinary.
People pay lots of money for the creations of van Gogh, Picasso,  Pollock, because, in part, they are monuments to courage, to belief in  oneself. These artists transcended the realities of their lives, they  kept at their work, stayed faithful to their vision, despite rejection,  despite disappointment. Their works are seen as celebrations of faith in  oneself. What makes great artists great in part is that their belief in  themselves, in their vision, is great.
