"Create to
heal the
earth!
Art
is power.
Art
is prayer.
When you
recycle.
When you
choose to
show love,
to fight for
justice,
to bring
healing,
to bring out
what is
good
in others."
Excerpts from
Dee smith
"Do Art:
When you
avoid cruelty
and dishonesty
and waste.
When ym
ou
ou
are outraged.
When you
speak out.
When you give.
When you
consider
the generations
to come.
When you
protest to
the oppressors
and encourage
those who
feel
the cutting
edge
of
injustice.
There is
a tree
that all
the
prophets
see, and
whenever
you let
your love show
through art,
you make the
flowers grow."
"Art is
a prayer,
and our
sculptures
and our
paintings
give
life.
Is the
place
they
had
been
exhibited
not at
all
maintained?
It should be.
But never
mind,
as long
as it is
not
a bad
place,
and
there
are
people
who
appreciate
art!"
"Make
your
own art,
and make
your
creation
a prayer.
A prayer
for the
end of
exploitation,
a prayer
for the
end
of lies,
a prayer
for healing,
for justice,
for life."
"Have you
seen
anything?
Expose it!
Express it
through art
so that all
can see
what
you
see!
Take
a wood
and
carve it
with
your
dreams."
" Is
there
anything
you'd
like
to tell
the
world?
Take your
chisel
and
mark
it with
your
wood!
"This is the
way it has
been done,
so you can
do it too.
"Use any
color,
and
you
will
probably
find that
its own
natural
color
would
come
out
best
without
artificial
tinting."

"Beauty is
before me,
And beauty
is behind me.
Above and below me hovers the beautiful.
I am
surrounded by it.
I am immersed in it.
In my youth I am aware of it,
And in old age I shall walk quietly
The beautiful trail."
Navajo Prayer
Today
is
your
day,
your
mountain
is
waiting,
so get
on
your
way.

"God put a rainbow
in the sky,
to let us
know that
Spirit
never
forgets.
Now is the time for us to put a rainbow
across the earth,
to let
God know
that we, too, remember.
Create to
heal
the earth.
Live the
art.
In all you do,
express
yourself
to heal
the 
earth.
"Let your
earth."Let your
art be a
life-giving
symbol
for all
peoples, regardless
of race
or national boundary, regardless of whether we are human or whether we are the trees,
the air,
the flowers,
the birds,
the bees...
Let your art
give life.

"There are four questions of value in life...
What is sacred?
Of what is spirit made?
What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for?
The answer to each is the same.
Only Love."
~ Johnny Depp

POSTCRIPT:
The Baguio Convention Center (BCC) was once a showcase for Baguio City. The art pieces at its lobby were good. At the time I took these photos, however, it was embarrassing to note that the surroundings of BCC were utterly filthy. An ad for a 24-hour comfort room was in big letters at the entrance as if the BBC is the whole toilet. The hallway where the art pieces are exhibited has a big sign for the comfort room but I could not find enough information about the exhibit, except for an old flyer. Who is in charge? I could volunteer to clean up if the city do not have the eyes to see. Who do we talk to?
