Dog Paintings for Sale
Congrats to Schmutt for finding a home. Little Schmutt was always such a friend at Artvilla that his painting is precious, like him.
Schmutt the dog
was a good ol’ dog
even though he was so
small.
That tiny body
was all heart
and all
Obama lover
and other replacement words
and phrases
don’t hide your
scent
isn’t it time we
stopped
admitted
who the wolves
are
who we are, America?
Wasn’t it time in 1860?
Wasn’t it time in Selma?
Isn’t it time in Ferguson?
We go on
We go on
The police go on.
The news go on,
The talking heads go on.
We drive our fancy cars and
point at those who walk.

Mesopotamia, Suma, Eden, Satan, Abraham, the Flood, the beginnings of written language, Gilgamesh was a king of Uruk, Mesopotamia, who lived between 2800 and 2500 BC. The history of Iraq is the history of “God” for half of the world. This is a remarkable portrait of ancient civilizations and lands which were once so fertile where early people gathered around water to form the first civilizations. Civilizations which were the first to use up the natural resources and move on. The pattern seems to have continued throughout history from Egypt to Peru.
The only difference today is that there is nowhere to go once we deplete the forests around us. We can’t pack up and leave our pyramids and move on.
An altogether look at the beginnings of civilization and how it was first recorded. Gilgamesh was the first God to be written down and the Bible begins at the time when writing begins. Before that there was the oral tradition and art which could illustrate that tradition.
We are beginning a new links page to link to web people we know who labor over websites and need a link. That pure and simple. Sometimes seemingly off topic places who support us in some way and we’d like to support with a link. This page will grow as writers, poets, artists and others show up.

So that’s it then.
I was a there in the cloud
of cosmic dust
and then I was a rock for
14 billion years,
lived for a few years,
and became water and air
and wind and
a rock again for
14 billion years more.
It’s like a rock blinks for a split
second and looks around,
and says, I matter,
I’m a rock star,
and blinks and becomes
a rock again,
while angels sing,
and 28 billion years,
and a few years more,
become
a tiny stone in the sea
so
love the rocks around you
though rocky souls they may be
for they beat the odds
to blink with you and me.
Our founder and mentor believed quite strongly in one cause and we have taken up the torch. We are proud to present a recording she made years ago which has been recently found with one other recording.
We lend our support to Doctors Without Borders and are cooking some pages for them in memory of Summer. Let the campaign begin!
The first thing we are doing is 205 pages on World history, music, and tours of 205 countries of the world. We have earned a link to this page and have placed a link to Doctors Without Borders on all pages in our efforts to get the word out, Summer Breeze’s word that this is one world and we are one people.
Malala Yousafzai’s entire Nobel prize speech
From the town of Mingora in the Swat District of Pakistan’s northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Malala Yousafzai went aginst the Taliban and was shot defending the right of young girls to have an education. We salute her award of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014.
She ahares the prize with Kailash Satyarthi of India, an Indian a hero of campaigns to end child labor and free children from trafficking.
The Peace Prize was first given in 1901 and Malala is the youngest recipient. Because of the joint award to a person from India and Pakistan, Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi are requesting that the leaders o0f both countries attend the award ceremony. “It is my humble request.”, said Malala.
She is a very humble and brave and worthy recipient who found out about the award in school.
Congratulations Malala Yousafzai. Bravo!
