swan song

Dear everyone,

    We stand at the beginning of the very last week Heart of the World has to make itself a reality. From here we can only see a brief dazzle of seven days before the fateful Monday that makes or breaks our dream. From here we must stand back and seriously consider how close we stand to our goal.

    And where we stand is quite close.

    If anyone was waiting for just the right time to bring in a Hidden Ace or a Secret Master Plan to win it all, this is exactly it. With one week to go, Heart of the World needs all of us more than ever. We stand near enough to the purchase of the space to smell the sawdust and the fresh paint.

    There's still plenty that needs to be done. Shares can still be bought by anyone with a couple hundred to spare. Men and women can still set out to spread the gospel of this grand design. Lonely corners of the internet can still be told. Somewhere out there may be the person, place, solution, or idea that gets this place built.

    If you've been waiting for later to get involved, later is now.

    Heart of the World is in all probability the first arts center buoyed by the global community. Men and women, artists and audiences, professionals and amateurs from the human multitude have already given their hours, dollars and wishes to this dream. We are all of us carrying the hope and message that human beings care enough about art and each other to come together and create a place like this. For a lot of us, this dream we're nursing is far, far away in some distant corner of the world we probably haven't even thought of until this idea came along. Many of us will never see it once it's built.

    But we will hope and we will dream because none of those details matter. Art matters. Community matters. The Heart of the World matters.

    We have a week. Send us your ideas, your grasps at straws, your clever last minute plans, and yes even your (or your friends'/contacts'/etc.s') money for a share. This is where it all comes down. This is where the dream becomes real.

    Thank you for your time, your love, and all the hope you've given us.

-- Jhayne Holmes and the Heart of the World volunteers
