Ideas are A.F.O.O.T.

"I'M SLUSH" * The Art of the Journey * The Journey of Art

Art Freedom Ocean to Ocean Tour

Where does a work of art begin and end? At what point in the road does a journey transcend the points on the map and begin to venture into the unexplored internal byways of the traveler?

Dag Hammarskjold wrote in Markings, in 1964, “The longest journey is the journey inwards.”


"I'M SLUSH!"

According to Alain de Botton, in The Art of Travel, Friedrich Nietzsche wrote the following about travel. “He distinguished between collecting facts of life like an explorer or academic and using known facts to the end of inner psychological enrichment.” He believed in the value of the latter.

 Our adventure, Ideas are A.F.O.O.T., could easily be described as linear, inward or spontaneously random in direction. Aspects of the journey are straight-forward, such as: there are only two ways to get to Newfoundland by car - the 7-hour ferry and the 14-hour ferry.

Others are spiritual. social, artistic, cultural or psychological. Like any other scenario in life or in fiction, our quest has been inspired by a confluence of events and ideas, which any rational person would say is impossible, if it were ever laid out as a plot for a story. So, the implausible journey begins!

The Art Freedom Ocean to Ocean Tour is somewhat of a gambit, also. Can we make it work?

Little Bear Paw comes into the room dressed in a bright orange top, pink skirt and aqua leggings and says, “I’m Slush!” “Come on Big Bear, let’s go for a bike ride.”
