At first it sounded like a Thanksgiving story, but the more I
reflected on it, the more appropriate it seemed for any time of the
year. The way I heard it, the story went like this:
.
Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class a
fun assignment — to draw a picture of something for which they were
thankful.
.
Most of the class might be considered economically disadvantaged, but
still many would celebrate the holiday with turkey and other
traditional goodies of the season. These, the teacher thought, would
be the subjects of most of her student’s art. And they were.
.
But Douglas made a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different
kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of misery, frail and
unhappy. As other children played at recess, Douglas was likely to Read More

With shelter….even the most vulnerable bird can sing.
There once was an incredibly rich man who commissioned two talented artists for a project. The rich man explained that he would pay one million dollars to the artist who was able to paint the perfect picture of “peace”.
..
Several months later, both artists returned with their paintings. The first was the most beautiful image of the sun shining down on fields of glorious flowers, while in the background a rainbow stretched over a tranquil blue lake…it was indeed a “peaceful” picture. The rich man commended the artist for his work and then turned his attention to the second painting.

A couple attending an art exhibition at the National Gallery were staring at a portrait that had them completely confused. The painting depicted three very black and totally naked men sitting on a park bench. Two of the figures had black penises, but the one in the middle had a pink penis.
The curator of the gallery realized that they were having trouble interpreting the painting and offered his assessment. He went on for nearly half an hour explaining how it depicted the sexual emasculation of African-Americans in a predominately white, patriarchal society. “In fact,” he pointed out, “some serious critics believe that the pink penis also reflects the cultural and sociological oppression experienced by gay men in contemporary society.”
After the curator left, a young man in a West Virginia T-shirt approached! the couple and said, “Would you like to know what the painting is really about?”

I am impressed by an incident that happened during Ignacy
Paderewski’s (November 18, 1860 - June 29, 1941) career. The famous
Polish pianist agreed to play a concert organized by two Stanford
University students working their way through school. Paderewski’s
manager said they would have to guarantee the artist a fee of $2,000.
The boys agreed and eventually the concert was held.
..
Though the two student promoters worked hard, they took in only
$1,600. Discouraged, they told Paderewski of their efforts and handed
him the $1,600 with a note promising to pay him the balance of $400.
But the artist tore up the note and gave them back the $1,600. “Take
your expenses out of this,” he said, “give yourselves each 10% of
what’s left for your work, and let me have the rest.”
..
Years later, Paderewski was faced with feeding the people of his
war-ravaged Poland. Amazingly, even before a request was made,
thousands of tons of food were sent to Poland by the United States.
..
Paderewski later traveled to Paris to thank Herbert Hoover, who
headed up the US relief effort. “That’s all right, Mr. Paderewski,”
said Hoover, “I knew that the need was great. And besides, though you
