Those who dance as an offering to Creator are keeping traditions alive and setting reverent examples for the young people of their nations. They are the ones who realize that to dance is to pray; to pray is to heal, to heal is to give, to give is to live, and to live is to dance. To these dancers, I say, "Dance on and on and on...we need your rhythmic, heartfelt prayers."

We learn so much through forgiveness, it is worth it in every way. It makes no sense to continue fighting, most fights are about small nothings that become crazily huge. When we live together in harmony we create a warm atmosphere for all, let's try and change our ways and forgive each other my friends.

Sympathy
I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised
and his bosom sore, _
When he beats his bars and
he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee.
But a prayer that he sends
from his heart's deep core,
But a plea, that upward to
Heaven, he flings_
I know why the caged bird
sings!
Paul Laurence Dunbar

If anyone in this work has an objection to being in it, please let me know and I will delete it, or try and change it thank you. Hopefully, when you understand the reason for this work you will not object.
After researching a little I have chosen the colours red,
Red = Love, Passion, Strength, Power, Danger, Excitement, Energy.
Orange, Orange = Warmth, Creativity, Adventure, Freshness, Happiness, Attraction, Success. Yellow,
Yellow = Optimism, Cheer, Happiness, Warmth, Caution, Energy, Intellect.
Green, Green = Nature, Growth, Wealth, Luck, Envy, Freshness, Quality. Blue,
Blue = Trust, Calm, Sadness, Peace, Loyalty, Depth, Authenticity. Purple, Purple = Royalty, Nobility, Wisdom, Luxury, Imagination, Mystery, Spirituality. White, White = Purity, Simplicity, Innocence, Peace, Cleanliness, Emptiness, Goodness and black, Black = Sophistication, Formality, Sorrow, Boldness, Elegance, Death, Mystery. Also, the infinity symbol which I have used in plain black, and also all of the colours above, gives you an appreciation of what I am trying to portray. I chose the abstract circles because the circle is considered the symbol of unity. In my circles I have abstract people living, working, and playing together in unity. I hope that my message comes across clearly, that I desire all people to enjoy friendships with everyone despite their differences. We can learn so much from each other's differences and become better people for it as well as a close-knit community, which is surely better than hate, division, and war! Food for thought, my friends.

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a
beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Art has always been a powerful agent of change. Whether it’s a painting, a short story, or an installation, art has the capacity to cut through the noise and make a big statement. It has the power to change our opinions, minds, and hearts.

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
George Bernard Shaw

The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.
Socrates

Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.”
Dalai Lama

The art of life lies in a constant readjustment to our surroundings.”
Kakuzo Okakura

Change is painful, but nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.”
Mandy Hale

I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself.”
Aldous Huxley, Point Counter Point

You’re only as young as the last time you changed your mind.”
Timothy Leary
