Art is NOW Needed

There is art that is disturbing, frightful even.
There is art that is thought provoking, challenging,
And there is art that is soothing for the soul.
With so much violence, war, and extreme weather catastrophes happening worldwide,
​The latter art is now needed.

Art in any form, has now perhaps more than ever before,
The task to be positive,
To inspire hope and an awareness that not all is doom and gloom.
That there is always beauty in any form around us.
​We just have to look for it and never stop looking.
