You're Special

Getting into my car yesterday, there was a note under my windshield. Being in another state, I found that was unusual. I looked at other cars and they didn't have one. Then I thought to open the door quickly and get back in and lock the door. When I looked at it, it simply said you're special. I looked around again to see all the cars that had this pamphlet and again my car was the only one. I knew it was a religious pamphlet right away, but didn't recognize the group. But, again in my life, I was presented with something I needed to read at that very moment. I wasn't feeling very special. I was feeling pretty down in the dumps. The image of the rose and the message of Jesus being born for each and everyone of us, including sinners was the biggest take away. It included God's pathway and living in the light. As a believer, it was telling me what I already know. But, I wasn't feeling special, and I should. Each one of us should. Because, it is our differences that make us special. This blog is about how art can fill your heart. Fill your exsistence with wonder and joy. As I drove away I took a picture of the pamphlet in front of this installation at the side of the parking lot at the hotel I am in. It is polls with quotes from various Artists: It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. Henry David Thoreau Art is not made for anybody and is, at the same time for everybody. Piet Mondrian A work of art which did not begin with emotion is not art. Paul Cezanne The object is not to make art. It's to be in that wonderful state that makes art inevitable. Robert Henri The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live. Auguste Rodin All I could think of was how I immediately thought when I was faced with something awful this week, was that's it how can I write each day this week? What can I write about when I feel so deflated. But, words beautiful words presented themselves to me yesterday that said: "How can you not write about this?" I hope anyone who reads this and needs to hear "You're Special" realizes how special you really are. Song of the day: Brass in My Pocket The Pretenders
