"Beethoven and all those guys had wild thoughts." – Yo-Yo Ma

Have you ever listened to a symphony by Beethoven? Or looked at a painting by Picasso? Or read a poem by Langston Hughes, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost or Gwendolyn Brooks? When you experience the work of an artist, you get a glimpse into his or her wild thoughts. And you may find yourself having some wild thoughts of you own. Many artists turn to other artists for inspiration.

Today….appreciate (or create) a work of art.
