I have very few concerns and matters over which I puzzle myself, but one that I cannot escape is art.  The breadth, magnitude, and impact of the arts intrigues me and leads me places where I and my ideology are challenged, reaffirmed, changed, or lost.  Without art, living would be less, but with and through art living becomes more than an existence.  If you are of a similar mindset I hope and pray that I may create art that does to you what it does to me.  If you are not, than I hope and pray that I may sway you to become more than just an existence.
