Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to my friends and family in America and all over the world. Today I ask that you show some restraint before allowing that negative idea or desire to go bad come to fruition. I ask that you think twice before getting on your high horse and telling everyone about the Pagan origins of Christmas and that Jesus wasn’t born on December 25. We live in America, the fact of the matter is today is probably the least Pagan day of an almost purely Pagan culture, and honestly, the accuracy of the date of his birth is not as important as the love and sacrifice associated with his life. Today I ask that regardless of your religion or beliefs that you take a moment to be thankful for the life you have, to give someone a genuine hug, to flash your beautiful smile, to listen to someone that needs to be heard, to forgive someone, and to enjoy a peaceful meal with your family. Take a moment to say a prayer for someone, because whether you know it or not, there are many who are struggling to cope with the absence of their loved ones or barely hanging on themselves; your kindness matters. Today I ask that you show the your friends, your family, and the world what humanity can be when we’re at our best. Merry Christmas and love you family.. Peace and blessings to you all. — Sean King
Responsibility of an Artist
In my opinion, there are two things an artist must do. First, we must use our voice to create imagery with our words, movement, paint, and sound that give voices to the billions of people who for one reason or another are unable to articulate their story. Second, we must use our art to create a future so beautiful, that we give those souls that are barely hanging on enough hope to keep believing that as cruel as the world has been, that it’s not time to give up yet, that there is something beautiful enough in these crazy times to keep fighting for.
