The Round turns 25!

About Me

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.”-Albert Einstein

My real blog is here: www.bluetree.org
And here is the collaborative arts event I curate in Seattle once a month. It always raises awareness & volunteers for a different cause each month, including Bands Without Borders! www.TheRound.org

"I am only one; but still I am one.
I cannot do everything, but still I can do something;
I will not refuse to do the something I can do." - Hellen Keller
