Is the theme "carpe diem" for both the written and visual art pieces?
If we decide to submit a drawing, instead of our "Who Am I" paper, do we still get extra credit points?
Well. ok...but you put so much time into he essay...and that relates closer to our class...let's see some art though! keep me posted!

Do you want us to submit the entire paper here because it does not fit. When do we need to complete this post by?

Shades of earth
Are ringing through my open views
Inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love
Which shines around me like a Million suns
It calls me on and on
Across the universe"

"Recognize that the very molecules that make up your body, the atoms that construct the molecules, are traceable to the crucibles that were once the centers of high mass stars that exploded their chemically rich guts into the galaxy, enriching pristine gas clouds with the chemistry of life. So that we are all connected to each other biologically, to the earth chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically. That’s kinda cool! That makes me smile and I actually feel quite large at the end of that. It’s not that we are better than the universe, we are part of the universe. We are in the universe and the universe is in us."
