Ah Kris, thanks for your note. I think we may be in more agreement than my note might have put across. :) When I say positive, I'm not necessarily meaning the whole -bunnies, birds, happy lil flowers sort of positive! :) If someone is moved as in getting cold water splashed on their face, and it makes them reevaluate things and they find that that was exactly what they needed, then I think that's positive! :) Now, as far as the world being a multifaceted place, of course! :) So it just tends to be my own personal spin on whatever I create that it go toward something I myself would like to experience. I personally would like to see a bit more 'intelligent lightness of being' in the world, but that doesn't mean to me, that my art should all be light... Sometimes a message needs to be intense to be perceived as intended... yes?... So if art moves people (whether that is to cry or get up and shake their booties!) I certainly think it's good if good comes of it... :) Anyway, 'nuff from me fur now! :) Thanks again, and I wish you an awesome day!...
