The words on this piece are from the song "True Colors." It has been done by Cyndi Lauper and Phil Collins. But my favorite version by far is by Eva Cassidy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zsq42yKuHA
"Things won are done, joy's soul lies in the doing." ~William Shakespeare
I once read about a woman seeing a message sprawled on a Paris sidewalk. It said, "The city of Paris is full of beautiful mysteries, and you are one of them." I never forgot that story. I began to think how wonderful it would be to spread love and joy by writing beautiful messages on sidewalks with chalk. That idea has evolved into the original poetry I often include on my art, and is the reason I call myself “The Sidewalk Chalk Prophet.”
The most an aritst can do through their work is say, "Let me show you what I have seen, what I have loved, and perhaps you will see it and love it too." ~Annie Bevan
