I've been thinking about what it means to be, and when I read Whitman’s line from his poem, it really dawned on me that we are a warmth and goodness. “For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.” wrote Whitman, and I want to hold on to that. Hold it in my head and in my hands, turn it over like a small bright stone, something precious and something we can share. This painting is my homage to the warmth that you can bring to someone’s heart.

All of us, here together, making our way through this extraordinary, sometimes terrible, often beautiful world. And somewhere in the middle of it all, there's this thing we can do. Its easy to forget even when we have regrets or shame or when we carry sadness and despair, that we too can bring a warmth to someone’s heart.

I think we often feel that there is nothing we can give and we feel this sense of losing hope. But we must remember that we can be a kindness that stays with someone for years. A moment that changes the shape of an ordinary day.

There are so many voices out there trying to tell us who belongs and who doesn't. Let's do something else. Let's make room, share what we've got, throw open the doors. Lets be warmth. I will be there searching, making room, radiating with you. X
