Livin In The Love Of the Common People...............

I have been wanting to write about something that has been in my head for quite some time......It isnt a song......not a movie......not something i did either. It started when i visited this site for creative concept artists (www.conceptart.org). I was browsing casually thru it and something caught my eye in the forum. It is an entry from a guy who gives good comments n crits on sketches. this time 'round it was an amazing thread for his child. the most amazing part is that the thread was a sign of silent protest / appeal for the treatment of autism. His son suffered from autism and that made him go on to do an amazing artwork which just touched my heart. an image so powerful i was stunned by it. Even more shocking was the fact that it made me realize how important parents are. This was one dad who made an appeal of sorts thru his artwork, thru something that he did very well, for the sake of his kid, something that he did for a cause be believed strongly in...... and more importantly for someone who is the world for him. This blog entry of mine is dedicated to that man, more for the act of love that he has shown, a tribute of sorts to that spirit of his. No other piece of art has moved me so much. I could have put his artwork here but that would be wrong. so i ask everyone who visits this blog by accident or otherwise to take some time and visit the url below. Trust me its well worth the effort.

I will not delve deeper into that story but visit the thread for more info.........
Paul Young sang,
'cause she's living in the love of the common people,
smile's from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
and she can.
Couldnt be more true..............
