Beginning Anew

Today I departed my long time home for idealistic adventure.  For the next 4 months I'll be listening to American's gripes, fears, hopes, and loves of our country.  Many believe we are at a crossroads and I too see our future in polarized prediction: are we coming together or coming apart?  My artistic aspirations for this journey are to simply put our collective existence into the largest context possible. To publicly demonstrate our differences matter less than our communal respect for one another. I hope our ability as free citizens to come together IS more important than our selfish desires to come apart.  And to recognize the precarious tipping point we maybe upon.  As my friend April succinctly put it, "RESPECT EXISTENCE or EXPECT RESISTANCE"....
