Some time in the last two or three years I learned that I'm a performance artist. I use my own life as a medium for my art.

I just learned I'm not the only one who calls it art!

PERFORMING LIFE: THE WORK OF TEHCHING HSIEH
http://www.one-year-performance.com/intro.html

"Hsieh is an artist whose medium of expression is not words or sounds or paint, but his own life."

At last! I know who I am! Yay!

I try to shape my life to express what I see envisioned in the writings of Baha'u'llah. My works are small, infrequent, feeble, primitive, unpopular, not very appealing, and seen by very few. Still, it is art, from my heart, and maybe it will make Him smile.

"Then He smiled at me, pa rum-pa-pum pum
Me and my drum."

That hope is what I live for.

My life is my drum

Today I decided I want to help organize the Internet to facilitate networking among people working to spread peace, justice, beauty and kindness.
