your wish is my command



anyone who uses the phrase 'easy as taking candy from a baby' has never tried taking candy from a baby."
- unknown

as i stood waiting for an errant cloud to soften the shadows in the doorway, a young woman emerged from the building and introduced herself.
"i'm the artist," she said with visible pride. we shook hands; she unlocked her bicycle and headed off towards the amstel.
only when she was almost out of sight, and i read beyond the glitter, did i wish that i had asked her what on earth it MEANT.

  4. The beauty of art is what it means to YOU. If you found out what THEY meant, wouldn't you lose just a little bit of yourself?
