Re: housewife green fly
The green fly, does not know
That it lives but one day.
Nor that it is birthed by
Parthenogenesis.
It knows to eat the rose
And watch for the hornet.
And to fly in the sky,
When hands sweep toward it.

Re: Re: Charity CD Project
> what's with the this-or-that demand?
When someone starts the money pleading process for an organization/community,
the implied contract is that the organization/community is more important than
personal agendas. If there is an agenda to create personal art work on the
backs of others, then it seems that some people find concern in this.
In concrete form, it would be like a director running a capital campaign that
espouses building a new wing to the museum when in fact the money will be used
to build a place for him to live.
An organization/community needs are different than the needs driven by an
individual artists artistic vision. The former are practical, the latter
ideal. Our money needs to go to a practical vision, not an ideal one.

Re: RE: Re: Charity CD Project
like i said - a vanity project - several directors of non-profits I have met
still want to maintain their place as artists ... only the non-profit suffers
for the lack of commitment, cause at the end of the day, the director needs to
give their entire time to building the non-profit or it stagnates.
A $50,000 a year day-job, posing as an art-project is not a bad gig and fun
while it lasts. For the director that is...

I'm an old housewife,
In dependency,
Upon my children,
No longer grateful,

of the life I gave,
for selfish motives.
My husband depends
Upon religious

As I become A
