#WWUC @NWCreativeUnion ~Wisdom&LifeLessons

A very simple prompt today...born from sharing and conversing with fellow free thinkers in the twitterverse....I remember listening to this back in the day...hits me a little different these days and I'd love to see what comes to mind after you have a listen...perhaps you've got you're own life lessons you'd like to share...a picture of a milestone you'd like to paint...sit back...have a listen...no doubt a smile...but pour the tears into your work (yes...I grow ever softer the older I get) Let's look back...and see what we've learned as we turn our eyes towards the future...I have faith we'll make it through...

Here's how we play...

• Post your response to the above video to you  blog or site
• Copy the address of the exact post
• Click Mr. Linky below, paste your post address, enter your name, click submit...and you're in!
• Visit others who have linked up. Comment, engage and most importantly, share the good work of those who have taken the time to join us.
• And don't forget to tune into the Nexus Cafe on blogtalk radio this Thursday at 6pmEst to see just what's coming down the pipeline at NWCU...and to listen in as some amazing artists and writers gather together to share their work.

Raise a Glass

[Delacroix: Liberty Leading the People]

Raise a glass to the artists,
And artisans, all,
Who have heeded their own inner call.

Raise a glass to the painters,
The poets, et al,
Who’ve championed liberty, for all.

Raise a glass to the dancers,
And musicians through time,
Who’ve moved with their own inner rhyme.

Raise a glass to the writers,
Who’s words, with stretched wings,
Have stopped to question, the conscience of kings.

Raise a glass to creatives,
Who go within, every hour,
And know ‘tis they, who have the real power.

Roger Allen Baut 2012

It's the Launch of The New World Creative Union

We were born creators. We were born as equals. We are here together to share, to encourage, to support and to grow.  The world is desperate for a new voice, a new song, a new awakening. We believe, that together, we can bring that change about.  Welcome to the New World Creative Union. 

Our mission is simple. We intend to build a community dedicated to the support of artists of all mediums. One where work can be shared in an open and nonjudgmental environment, where we can gather to share our faces and places with the world.
