artful living

The Sages Series

Useful lessons in life can come from a wide variety of divergent sources, both good and bad.
From sources of good we can readily learn the right thing to do, a leader like Gandhi comes to
mind. But we can just as readily learn what we should not do from bad sources like Charles
Manson. Both men were leaders, had followers, and offered instruction on how to behave, but
the results of their instruction are as starkly opposed as night and day. I created the
series Sages, Mystics, Oracles, Gurus and Clairvoyants, etc. as an exploration of models of
behavior to illustrate what can be learned from the polar opposites of good and evil.
