Notes Gem

These two quotes of Frida Kahlo's are significant. They are indeed the most significant quotes of hers to understand her life and the dedication to explaining who she was as a human being. It is within pure honesty that the artist shines and Kahlo's star shines for her tonight.

"I paint self portraits because I am the person I know best."

"I hope the departure is joyful and I hope never to return." ~Frida Kahlo

~~*~~

It is for Frida then that I write:

"Notorious Kahlo I Love You I Do - As I Stand in the Shadows Weeping For You"

Mexican art goddess

Frida Kahlo

Spanish gem

rebellious thunder

independent glamour queen

of a most glorious wonder.

Shocking conservative foes

dressing her canvases

with mirrors

from her very own

battered

and injured soul.

Notorious Kahlo

I love you I do

as I stand in the shadows

weeping for you.

If I do not understand

mine own pain

I will lust after Frida

and her soulful

honestly delivered

claims.

Mexican goddess

tears marked her days

you and I should remember

such courage

displayed.

Wounded in body

demons of the dark

yet despite convalescence

on canvas

this goddess

left her deepest remarks.

Diego Rivera

came into her life

murals of politics

and Mexican strife.

France did know them

an artists pair

who danced in their art scene

reputations to flair.

Ahh feminist Frida

I light candles to you

when alone in my closet

unsure of what to do.

Cult figure I honor

write notes on my door

remember Ms Kahlo

who painted her soul's roar.

Who better to paint

than the one, one knows best

from cradle to grave

Frida revealed her own struggles

and difficult tests.

Vibrant colors

sure of her gestures

leaving no misunderstanding

Frida Kahlo said and painted

exactly

what her heart measured.

Sexuality not ignored

as some women do

Frido Kahlo said it all

as she thought her life through.

She gave herself freedom

creative displays

dramatic symbolism

gave us visions

within and without

her cast prison.

Within your bodies torturous doorman

your efforts to explore

courageous decisions

will forever ignite me

past the tunes

of simple

folklore.

Notorious Kahlo

I love you I do

as I stand in the shadows

weeping for you.

Notes on Directing (Paperback) $23.42 At last in paperback, the brilliant primer on directing for film and theater that Dame Judi Dench calls “a gem—witty and full of insight.”Five years ago, Frank Hauser, a retired director, and Russell Reich, his former student, co-wrote Notes on Directing, which Reich self-published. It was immediately acclaimed as a timeless classic—and is now finally available in a paperback edition.There is true genius on these pages. Just as Strunk and White have done for composition and grammar, Hauser and Reich offer unparalleled insights into the crafts of directing and acting. They include, as well, life lessons—about how to deal with people, anticipate problems, and handle challenging situations—that make Notes on Directing as valuable offstage as on.The 130 “notes” address a wide range of topics, from understanding the script to casting, rules for rehearsal, how to talk to actors, how to get a laugh, and the key elements of staging. They reveal what got the young Ian McKellen, Judi Dench, and Richard Burton started on their careers, and offer rare quotes from artists as diverse as Anton Chekhov, Elia Kazan, and George Bernard Shaw. Plainly expressed, with explanatory commentary and five valuable appendices, this deceptively slim book has the impact of a privileged apprenticeship with a master director. For the student aspiring to a directing or acting career, the professional looking for new ideas, or the theater lover wanting insight into the creative process, reading Notes on Directing will be an invaluable experience.

The Notes $9.99 Ronald Reagan’s The Notes is a fascinating window into the mind of our fortieth president and the writers and thinkers to whom he turned for advice, inspiration, humor, and hope. Collected by the Ronald Reagan Foundation, the book includes both Reagan’s own writing and his favorite quotations, proverbs, and excerpts from speeches, poetry, and literature. The breadth of these notes sheds light on a man who was deeply engaged with the arts, culture, and politics, from his time as one of the nation’s most popular actors to later years as one of its most beloved presidents. Known as the “Great Communicator,” Reagan sought wisdom from a wide-ranging set of political figures, philosophers, novelists, and poets, including Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Webster, John F. Kennedy, and Thomas Jefferson, as well as Mohandas Gandhi, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Mark Twain, and Thomas Wolfe. While the number one New York Times bestselling Reagan Diaries detailed daily life inside the Oval Office, The Notes encapsulates a lifetime of reflections on work, marriage, and family in classic one-liners such as “Flattery is what makes husbands out of bachelors” and “Money may not buy friends, but it will help you to stay in contact with your children.” Reagan’s own writing—his jokes, aphorisms, and insights into politics and life—is often surprising and reveals a view of the president that has rarely before been seen. Historic, illuminating, and deeply captivating, The Notes is a remarkable collection of the thoughts of one of our most beloved presidents.
