A Whole New Mind-"Story"

I like the author's definition of story..."content enriched by emotion".

These words could be used to describe any form of art, including my own.
This is an important concept that my personal artwork seems to be 
missing.
If I created my artwork guided by these principles, my art would be 
better. Right now I am only thinking of creating a meaningful piece 
for ME, mostly leaving the "emotion" out of the piece. Hmmm....

The wine bottle story was for a good cause. Contributing to a cause 
makes people feel connected. That's one way that "story" puts more 
meaning in our lives. We become a part of the story, and feel good.

The Portfolio section has great ideas. The one I liked best was the 
mini-saga.      Here's mine...


Temple Bell


S   i   l   e   n   c   e  . . .    
                                     stillness  
                                           . . .  s   i   l   e   n   c   e . . .   
                                                                                     stillness 
 . . .   s   i   l   e   n   c   e . . . 


The monk's spirit guides his frail body ringing the temple bell . . .

Beautiful mist swallows hundred year old pines in the night . . .

This vivid memory catches my soul swirling in a misty fog. . .
