The opportunity to express ideas and beliefs is all around us. The walls we live within beg for decorations. The clothes we wear cry for accessories. Our bodies get inked with elaborate doodles and our bumpers become scattered with vinyl stickers.
Your vehicle of expression depends on importance and the size of the desired audience. Canvases with thick globs of paint might line the walls of your small ARTpartment, waiting for their rare viewing or your car might be jammed with overwhelming slogans and icons. Maybe your idea is an action and your vehicle is a stage. An elegant dance expresses the sensual grace of a ballet dancer and the weightless floater on a hollow lip showcases the challenging of one’s limits. Expressions might be less frequent, but just as important. Like the Bakawali flower, your idea might blossom once a year, but that one blossom might be as breathtaking as your first sunset.
Search the doodles that clutter your coffee table! Flip through the pages of your small black notebook! Filter your sent emails and analyze your favorite dreams! Pick an idea and a vehicle and begin expressing…

My vehicle of expression as of late has been these comment boxes. In fact, I think they are going to be the solution to the world’s ills someday. When an article is written on say the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Global warming or cloning, the comments at the bottom show the whole world’s live opinion and people are called out for ignorant comments. Others often counter-call out and prove that the original point was correct and provide links to validate their thoughts. But now, people don’t have to hope that the editor of the newspaper decides to print his/her editorial. Instead, boom, there it is and others can reply promptly. We all know (the enlightened ones) that war and poverty is just a result of a communication breakdown. Well, I got a hunch that comment boxes at the bottom of web articles are the best way for people to express exactly what they mean. You could say I am naive, but you’d be wrong.
After an intense project… reading this made me feel really good. It made me remember why I should embrace my efforts, even when they make me drained.
