Your Own Flowering
"I teach selfishness. I want you to be, first, your own flowering. Yes, it will appear as selfishness; I have no objection to that appearance; it is okay with me. But is the rose selfish when it blossoms? Is the lotus selfish when it blossoms? Is the sun selfish when it shines? Why should you be worried about selfishness?
You are born - birth is only an opportunity, just a beginning, not an end. You have to flower. Your first and foremost responsibility is to blossom, to become fully conscious, aware, alert; and in that consciousness you will be able to see what you can share, how you can solve problems." The Book of Understanding, OSHO
Stumbled across this lovely quote today and just had to share.
The Conspiracy is still in motion, although I've had few requests lately. Most of my focus has been on an event for a local non-profit that takes place on September 30th. I co-chair the Board of Directors so I've been extremely busy. I look forward to returning to doll making as a form of relaxation in October.

Greetings Gentle Conspirator(s),
I applaud your stedfast committment to reframing "public art" as an act that can come from the individual. I am currently teaching "The Art of Community" at the University of New Mexico and am finishing a section on public art before merging into community art. I will be using your blog site as an example in my lecture today (9.20.07). I will be assigning students to choose a blog "art community" to explore the arts through virtual communities. I'm hoping you will soon be meeting a few of my students. Thank you for providing an inspiring and charming world of arts activism. Namasté, Fiona XtraLuvin' (FiFiX)
