Hello dear Chava, the lovely title of this gorgeous work reminds me of a book that, for decades, has been an all-time favorite of mine. It's titled Exuberant. The subtitle is An Affirmative philosophy of life, by Paul Kurtz. A brief quote from that book is as follows : "The key to life is its dramatic quality. It is charged with unexpected events and bizzare happenings. It is full of constant stream of characters and personalities richly diverse and idiosyncratic. One has to learn to live with dramatic suspense, not behold life as a spectator but aprticipate in it lustily and mightily. Life, however, unlike playacting is the real thing. The script has not been written beforehand. It is we who do the writing of our parts, and there are many parts interweave and unfold, and we never know the exact ending. That is part of the excitement of living. We are forever re-writing our scenario, and new events intrude that we did not anticipate. The full plot is always yet to unfold."
Chava Silverman replied:
Dear Bijan, It's always an adventure hearing from you and about your approach to life. We live only once, so this is our only chance to participate in the drama and grab the dream. I think that what I would hope to do is to distill some of the great drama and passion into my artwork so it will become a mirror and reflector to the great life dramas. It's a way to participate but also to stand back and observe. Thank you so much for sharing. It's great to find a friend across the continents in a space where we can share our thoughts and dreams.

Thank you, dear VIVA. I think I always believed that with art we can create a fantasy world where momentarily we can live our dreams...
