out of the mouths of…
the first three of an onslaught of responses received from children
what joy!
this first one either says ‘mom’ or it is a sun with two birds …and a whole bunch of other great stuff!
my friends KEEP me human
shoes! of course! yes!
horseshoes don’t count, and while quite possibly useful, those little dog booties i see about town are too undignified to acknowledge
my thanks to the kiddies who, without any surprise, find light and positivity
stay tuned…there are many more kids to weigh in

this is actually the very first ‘what makes you human?’ postcard to have arrived some weeks ago
it came close from home
communication is not reserved for humans alone
…miscommunication
leaving a creative mark
recorded history
testing (…abusing perhaps these days) the boundaries of communication
having an opinion
taking a stand
this is human
and it all starts with a ‘hi there!’

two cards mysteriously appeared on my desk in recent days
i feel the angst of civil servitude
(that could just be me)
i like very much that this answer is an equation
symbols. the writing of equations. that feels human
the content of this equation is intriguing
this brings into question for me the emotional intelligence and self-awareness of animals other than humans
we think abstractly. we consume. we hate. we justify. we generate dogma.
that feels quite dark yet an undeniable human cycle
the other traits i feel we share with animals. we have a leg up with humour i suppose, though i once knew a hilarious sarcastic black lab-ish dog
i know for certain to soon expect some postcards from children
i am without doubt that children will provide the best answers
i cannot wait!
happy spring holiday to all!

…from abroad
my message in a bottle returned to me
from beautiful uruguay

this first message makes the entire project worthwhile
gracias por la conexión Alina Tortosa usted es el arte
i literally squealed in delight and jumped around in happy circles (at the post office)
the postcards are making their way around the world
…uruguay, chile, argentina, uk, alaska & florida usa, saudi arabia, germany, ireland, my office
consider taking some with you if you are off somewhere fabulous

it seems the ‘school age’ walking stick is stuck at the border
the stick made it to L’aéroport international Montréal-Trudeau
and made friends with airport staff!!
and where was it off to you wonder?
no where fast!
i am going to put my money on ‘trouble at security’
“what do you mean ? this stick a threat? can you not see the art in action?!?”
this fine airport staff informs me that the stick is laid up in the airport’s lost & found!
i am all at once delighted and distraught
this is the main airport that sets me free on the world
a place i am fond of, filled with memories (…where were you when you heard Michael Jackson was dead? i was at the montreal airport)
AND just imagine all of the amazing other contents of a montreal airport lost & found!
i made a plea for the stick to be set free
it is on a great journey
it is meant to wander
only time and the interest of strangers will tell
my thanks to my collaborators at the airport
you are part of the art
travel well ‘school age’ stick
…try the bus.
