Sari Grove:regarding Cruelty testing on animals, humans or plants…

First do no harm…The tenet has been broken…They should have their licences revoked…

“Feeding rodents bad food that is laced with pesticide is called cruelty to animals…

Healing rodents who have already eaten bad food laced with pesticide is science…

Know the difference…

The object of science used to be to heal…

That was the goal…

To have twisted this mission into justifying cruel & unusual experiments on animals or humans, as science, is a perversion of what was once a noble profession…

Know the difference…

These are not scientists, they are vivisectionists…

The “Brown Shirts” did some wonderful testing on humans too…

Shall we applaud them in the name of science?”

The answer is no…

Cruel laboratory testing on animals, humans & plants needs to stop…

Any doctor who participates is violating the oath they took when they got their licence as such their licence should be revoked…

Those who do not know about the oath, First do no harm, need to shut up…

Regarding the Sacred aspect of art relationships:

The buyer has to be sacred too…
I mean, choose wisely who you are going to allow to buy your work…
A special repeat collector left her coffee cup in my studio after buying several works…
I was about to throw it away, but noticed it had writing on it…
Apparently Starbucks had been putting deep thought quotes on their outer cup…
I kept that cup & still have it today in my locker area…
The quote itself moved me at the time, enough to have sacred feelings once again for this collector…
Some sort of sign this lady was holy…
God is in the details…
Remember also to be a sacred collector…
A gallery owner who is now a PHD & teaching gender issues in a university here smelled so nice while I was being introduced…
Squeaky clean too…Tall & cool & fresh from living in Colorado air…
I remember that sacred quality about her…
The very first time I asked Art Biz Coach what she thought about my work, she wrote back “handsome”…
How many times had I asked the very same question to new possibles, only to get a dumb answer…
A compliment right at the beginning of a relationship is so important to confirming future direction…
So many years later, I ventured forth with pictures of some new work in the medical arts field…
Art Biz Coach encouraged me in that direction…
Without that support, I might still be looking only at pure aesthetics…
But emboldened once again by a compliment, I have another decades worth of gas in my belly to move forward…(that came out wrong! ha!, & once again, worse!-sounds like I am flatulent!)
Another sacred relationship…
Of course, Ariadne(I love mythology so your name brings me back) the gentle wise spider here has been sacred from the beginning…
The web of silvery dust sprinkles gets woven here with toil & muscle…
It glistens in the sun…Ah, sacred writings…
I can only be good as an artist because of those who have been good to me…
