A painting experience with Master Rassouli

The muse can come as an inspiration, a seduction, a playmate, a dear friend, a mythical creature, but however it comes, it is a presence that beckons to us in a way that attracts and guides us to have fun and to live more joyfully. It awakens us at night, interrupts us when we are acting self-important, teases us to try something new and different, and helps us remember the excitement of being young and free and filled with hope....read more

In your light, I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one else sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.

Fusionart Poetry

"What Is Ridiculous"

Descendants of darkness, heirs to the Light
Why all this ridiculous clowning
Do you believe it amuses God
Who would laugh at such raw suffering
Who would not weep at such rare joy
So small
When all creation desires to be free
Squadrons of angels are taking off
Storming through clouds that obscure the moon
In their midnight mission
To protect our freedom
The drones are on target
And here we are
Safe from the searing pain
Yet unhealed
In a world where wisdom is ridiculous
To be truly ridiculous is to be wise
In a world full of emptiness
True emptiness is fullness
Cry, cry for these blind people
Who cannot hear when the wind chimes
Who shall answer them
Angel hymns they do not heed
Monstrous shadows stalk them
Still, in their hour of extremity
Is that most delicate tweaking
A turn to the fertile mystery of the heart
Beating in bewilderment
As innocence revives
The chimes grow louder
And healing begins

-Richard
