“One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.”
— JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE
One of the preeminent figures in German literature, he was a poet, playwright, novelist, scientist, statesman, theater director, and critic — “the last true polymath to walk the earth.”
BEING COMPASSIONATE AND UNDERSTANDING
This is from a newsletter that hits my inbox from time to time.
Don’t give up.
Over the past 18 months, humanity has been worn down by the pandemic. Life has not been easy and there may be additional challenges ahead. But as Winston Churchill once said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.”
Compassion is needed now more than ever. We encourage our supporters to be kind, forgive and sacrifice for the betterment of humanity.
“If I can think it, I can draw it and I love coming to the Path with Art [Open Studio] Zoom meetings. It’s so nice to be able to be supportive of not only myself but of other people’s art and their different art making textures.”
—Tim Bridge, Path with Art Participant Artist
Join Tim and other artists during our virtual Open Studio on Mondays from 3:30-5:00pm for dedicated creative time and a supportive community environment!

“And some things
that should not have been
forgotten were lost.
History became legend.
Legend became myth.”
― JRR Tolkien
in The Lord of the Rings
He, too, was a soldier during the First World War. Some scenes in his books are a reflection on his experiences.
