- Hello, my name is Anne Cutri. I have another blog here under my name that is dedicated to things from a Christian perspective. Comfort Cafe is a cyber spiritual support group. This is a safe zone for people to come who need encouragement. Please keep comments positive and uplifting. I imagine people gravitating here who need a shoulder or a safe place to be and to meet friends and talk. This is a group effort so if you want to discuss a subject please email me.

Desire and the Importance of Failing
Desire and the Importance of Failing
Rumi
A window opens.
A curtain pulls back.
The lamp of lovers connect,

No lover wants union with the Beloved
without the Beloved also wanting the lover.

The Giving Tree and Shel Silverstein
A priceless appearance with Johnny Cash
I first discovered Shel Silverstein my first year at art school. I
was in a book store looking for Christmas gifts for my youngest
siblings. I purchased "Where the Sidewalk Ends" for my sister who
loved it so much… Read full post »
Those that can't do, teach.
You've heard the saying before and to a newly budding artist in art school, it was death to be a teacher. There was no way I was going to become part of the Bourgeoisie, the elitist or worst of all a Sunday painter. No sir,… Read full post »

"The Dynamo Of Volition"
by Jason Mraz
I've got the dynamo of volition
With po-pole position
Automatic transmission with lo-ow emissions
I'm a brand new addition to the old edition
With the love unconditional.
I'm a drama abolitionist
Damn no opposition to my proposition

The Outer Banks of the Imagination: Dreams
This is a painting I did some 20 years ago of a dream I had. It was one of those dreams where no words were spoken only movement. It took place on an unknown rooftop with unknown women with an unknown language written… Read full post »

Open Call: Where Do You Take Sanctuary and Why? Update

I met this painter, Maurice. He is French Cajun, traveling north
from the Louisiana Bayou. He also happens to be a tree frog. He
came to Hot Springs to enjoy the baths and nurse his shoulders. It
seems he has strained them doing large scale paintings for his… Read full post »
On OS, Real Life and feeling like I'm from another planet
Wouldn't it be nice if real life was like OS? Everyone speaking in
poetry, exchanging niceties and patting each other on the back? I
was thinking about this as I was tossing and turning last
night.
Earlier that evening, in an effort to "get out there" , "expand

I don't wanna be anything other than what I am
I remember the morning that I first asked the meaning of the word,
"love." This was before I knew many words. I had found a few early
violets in the garden and brought them to my teacher. She tried to
