It is almost done, nearly doubled in size, It explains the whole project, please help it rise. 1. Hello world, and how are you? I hope you have been adventuring too. I wrote my own words, which you can read below, That explains the whole idea, the ideas I have sown. 2. At what Im doing and what Ive planned, This book is my life, this book is my stand. And now I have something to share, To fight the greedy and show we care. 3. About one another, and the world at large, To show the cynical that they are not in charge. A light in the dark, to burn the light bright, To let us fight, and make things right! 4. A Mecca magnum opus of the creative world, A place for our story to unfold and be told. Make your own book and give it away, Why change the world tomorrow, when you can change it today. 5. So take a stand and follow your passion, Whether it be art, dance, music or fashion. A smile and a hug, A simple offer of love. 6. Make it big or make it small, A pocket version or maybe one quite tall. Make it my way, or make it yours, In sets of two or in sets of fours. 7. Help make more, as many as possible, Changing the world turns from impossible to plausible. Make hundreds of books to bring and give away, For parents to read as the children play. 8. So take the idea and make it your own, Then travel and meet neat folks as you roam. Whether it be through rhythm and rhyme, Or capture with paint a rare moment in time. 9. Poetry or pottery, big art or small, Organize a flash mob at your local mall. And share with the world, to break down the tension, Then new people will see and add their interpretation. 10. Be the change you want to see in the world, Share your secret skills and adventure to places untold. Take the risk, take a chance, It is all our lives you will enhance. 11. Youll have a new family, full of support, Of creators and inventors Im happy to report. A collective effort from all of humanity, To save us from the brink of insanity. 12. Bring your creation to events and gatherings, Or show a young class and listen to their feet pitter pattering. And Take control of your education, Choose to be part of this crazy invention. 13.We stand on the shoulders of giants, in every aspect of life, When we live less our full potential, dishonour their sacrifice. Were on a slippery slope, barely keeping our balance. Our only way out is to focus our talents. 14. Now where does the money go, I feel you should know. So many ideas to find, now that our book is pretty and ready, Ill be totally honest, on the straight and steady. 15. The first rule for this fundraise is every $1000 raised, Ill make ten books to give away and be amazed. Every dollar that is donated is one step close, To making a Mecca magnum opus with artists, inventors and composers. 16. Part of the funds will help with travel and supplies, So I can bring out book around the world in my Gunther disguise. I will take it on the road for people to paint, A long line of people can hardly wait. 17. Some funds will go towards building an art hive, For people to come to and again feel alive.. A little yert filled with crazy contraptions, Where we can collaborate and make a call to action. 18. Well all meet at my slice of paradise, a yert I will build, Then when were all here well build a cabin to be filled. And a workshop to build where we can build the maze, And bring it to shambala for all to be amazed. 19. Well also carve a totem pole, Full of heart and full of soul. With patches of sunflowers, we can expand on the garden, And have a spot for meditation, a place for pardon. 20. A little community if wanderlust travellers, And draw it an airship, with you all as passengers. At the farms where everything changed, And our book became a new and was rearranged. 21. I plan to build a life size maze, 7 feet tall, And every page will be eleven feet long, not small. For people to play in, and see a dreamscape, With music playing around us, a ubiquitous escape. 22. Away from the cynical and greedy, a magical land, For people to be free, and see a neat band. This life sized mazes will be brought to events, And we can all see an entrance, Anonymice Art Collective presents. 23. The parts will be from dump piles and re-use it centres, With money going to printing the art and inspire new inventors. Now add your style and your flair to the book at large, And show the greedy and selfish we are in charge. 26. It was my book, but now it is ours, Just like the mission to go to mars. So write your story, or a poem, Then the art wont be alone. 27. Or film or photo, music or make, With ever new version, it will create. A wave of change and inspiration With an infinite number of interpretations. 28. And a monthly contest for poets to write, A new interpretation of the words to show we can fight. Every two weeks Ill release half the winning book, With new words to read and pictures to look. 29. For anyone to make and give away, A Mecca-magnum-opus of the creative world, for us all to play. And as the book evolves and grows, as it seems to do, We can do a little victory dance, or maybe two. 30. I also need voices to read and record the tales, So people can collect the readings and send them via emails. People like Mr. Morgan Freeman and you, Nick Offerman would be cool too. 31. The books are like little truffla tree seeds, Some will grow tall while others are smothered by weeds. I threw 400 seeds to the wind over two years, While evolving the art with blood, sweat and tears. 32.Please help me let this creature run loose, And now in the immortal words of Seuss. Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothings going to change, its not. 33. And now if youll listen, Ill tell you my tale, Of adventure ahead, I need crew to set sail. I went to the forest, two long years ago, Tired of the world that appeared to be for show. 34. I filled a sketch book over 5 days, And knew what I was meant for, I has found my way. I quit my job, and put away my degree, Then I started this book and gave it away for free. 35. I forged the art through experimentation and trial, Living under staircases and garages once in a while. Working as a fruit picker and a dishwasher, A cook, a sushi roller, and a general labourer. 36. With every second of spare time, Painting oil and drawing lines. With every day it grew, in size and scope, Pouring everything I am into it to give us hope. 37. Now it’s your turn, to play with art, Use your imagination to take part; And a collection of books, in new languages and generations, Write a story in a new language, and give the book new directions. 38. You don’t have to leave your job to fight for more, Find what you love and do it before, Youre in the ground, an unmarked grave, Change your future by being brave. 39. And maybe one day you can make the transition, From a general worker to a creator with a mission. Make the world better, make the world whole, The best way to do that is to follow your soul. 40. Find that uncomfortable place and be more than ordinary, Take a step forward and do something extraordinary. I’ll find the folks who have the spark deep inside, And start side projects to fill the time of day where they reside. 41. Starting side projects... With those neatest of folk, To bring to the shows and help us not be broke. Ignore the folks with a selfish mission, And support those who use their imagination. 42. I have many more languages in the works, Poems based on the art, full of fun quirks. With stacks of books in new interpretations, For fancy feet to take home for tricky situations. 43. Make hundreds of books to bring and give away, for parents to read as the children play. If we work together and follow our hearts, We can make something more than the sum of its parts. 44. This book is me, and I am it, And with your help, we can nurture it. I spent two years developing the art hand in hand, With the hourglass in the back dropping its sand. 44. It would be wonderful to share with the whole wide world, I want people to feel what I felt when the art and words swirled. 45. I give them to travellers I meet on the road, I tell them my story, I tell them the code. About my mission to make our book better, And show them how to make one and they send it with a letter. 46. A letter connecting their old life with their new, It is so hard to keep track of people when the hours are so few, But as a thank you for entering your world, You send them a this book, more unique than a pearl. 47. And write a letter thanking them for, All the things they taught you, and you wish you knew more. And handwrite this letter, and buy some postage stamps, And drop it in the postage box under the night lamps. 48. And I’ll make a stop motion video as I scribe in the poem, With many new interpretations from others in the works, so mine wont be alone. 49. In the Seuss story I have versions in Spanish and Japanese, Oh and the Hebrew version people have asked pretty please. Does anyone know the people to talk to to gain permission? To add Seuss words to my mission? 50. I have friends tripping to Japan and a South America, As well as a radio host I know in Israel. So please let me know if their is something I can do, So I can immediately share it in a new country or two. 51. It would be neat to use the Seusss story, But if it is such an issue, not to worry. In the works at the moment I have friends working on, A Russian, French, Hindi, and new English stories quite long. I hope you have a wonderful day, And Im very curious to see what you have to say.
