Inspiration as we 'commence' 2013 - The Art Of The Possible

Poet Kenneth Koch crafted this poem, published in his "The Art of The Possible! Comics Mainly Without Pictures"

It reads:

THE ART of the POSSIBLE

CREDO:

Vanishing is impossible

Lasting is impossible

Being in two places at once is impossible

Speaking the entire truth is impossible

Instantly knowing Spanish is impossible

Living in the midst of ten thousand panes of glass is impossible

Being simultaneously masked and unmasked is impossible

except in art

ART IS THE ART OF THE POSSIBLE

Inspiring words as we launch ourselves into 2013!  Happy New Year!

Illustrate and Write On,
Lee
