When life isnt quite making sense, I just remind myself of the analogy that its a movie and I dont know what the next scene will bring. Well ...... today some of my old scenes are coming together and making sense. Im organizing to write about 3 artists who are just back from a trip to Spain. I Googled the man who arranged the trip, Dr. Gregory Payne of Emerson University, and then watched the puzzle pieces fall into place. Dr. Payne doesnt teach art! He is a communications professor with an interest in crisis management. He is best known for his work on the Kent State massacre. He and I just had a phone conversation. Among other things, he said that after Kent State it was all about hard power. Things fall apart when we stop talking to each other. For him ..... and for me ....... soft power is the answer. Thats where the arts come in and where I get my phrase about artists leading the way. Im liking the direction of this conversation. You are welcome to join in. *-)
