Communication

by

I can remember when long distant phone calls were very expensive. You tried to stay under three minutes because after that the price increase soared. Now I talk to and at the same time see my friends all over the world for nothing through Skype. But what really got to me was the range of the World Wide Web. I went to the dashboard of my site and found that people from forty-seven counties has visited my site.

After you made an initial contact you have to maintain and keep the connection.
Life is Action.

Quiet Harmony

by

I am on a tiny island just off a small archipelago in the Caribbean. I do not listen to music or watch television. The biggest event in the evening is dinner. At night, I reconnect with the sky, seeing thousands of stars because there are no lights. In the evening I read on the terrace overlooking, with a 180-degree view, miles of still ocean and a pink-sanded beach were eons ago the hourglass of time spilled its contents. The view coupled with the isolation is spiritual and I have reverence for the sky, the ocean, and the sun. The only two sounds are the rhythmic waves breaking on the shore and the song of the birds. The birds have an immense medley of thirty or so wobbles, squeak, whistles, beeps and songs. I am transfixed by the sounds of the birds and just listen to their song. In the background, the silver waves are a steady heartbeat. The cool breeze blows silently off the ocean and I breath deeply the fresh air. It is a calm and quiet peace.

*The Art Walk

by

*The Art Walk

I am a native New Yorker. I love my city and I always have contributed toward making it better. I want to quiet down Grand Street in my neighborhood. The blasting car horns are excessive and rude drivers coming off the FDR drive queuing up to cross the Williamsburg Bridge are impatient and uncaring about the noise.

After the street is quiet I would like to line it with benches all the way from Soho to the Colliers Park on the FDR drive. Eventually I want to work on enhancing the beautiful parks that are all along Grand Street and on the islands that bisect the street. I would like to create a beautiful Art Walk from the Soho area, from the galleries, to Colliers Park. Then people can walk, talk, sit and enjoy the day, artwork, and city. The walk will do great things for the business in the area, it will increase it considerably, and it will make everything safer because of more people on the street. It will contribute to the quality of life in the city for tourists as well as the citizens who live here. I am a successful sculptor (www.sculptorhantz.com) and I have many artists’ friends and gallery associates that are interested in contributing sculpture to the betterment of the city.

If you would like to help with this worthwhile project please contact me at Sculptorhantz@gmail.com. Together we can do it. Life is Action.

ATTITUDE / TRANSFORMATION

by

I am amazed by the response to my new book. Thank you for reading it. And I am more than pleasantly surprised at the emails I received inquiring what the next topic will be in the A Way To series.
The multitudes of requests seem to want an expanding of the topics about relationships and health and coincidently these are the very topics that I am currently working on.
But until then…

The national game of Russia is chess. It is a game of perfect information. There are feints but no bluffs. This is why Khrushchev, confronted by imponderables, backed down from the nuclear conformation. Poker on the other hand was originated in the U. S. A. It is played here most avidly and expertly. The combination of risk, guile, open aggression and refined calculation reflects America and its frontier mentality. Kennedy was not even obliged to show his cards.
In which month do the Russians celebrate the October Revolution? November.

Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse.
“But why?” They asked, as they moved off.
Because he said, “I can’t stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.”
