 Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.

Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.

Yours is the light by which my spirit's born: - you are my sun, my moon, and all my stars.

Moonlight drowns out all but the brightest stars.

We are all like the bright moon, we still have our darker side.

We all shine on...like the moon and the stars and the sun...we all shine on...come on and on and on...

The moon is friend for the lonesome to talk to.

Short Story

Frida Kahlo: Art as Therapy  

One of the greatest artists who left their imprint on 20th century art is undoubtedly Frida Kahlo (1907-1954). While politically committed and defending communist values, Frida Kahlo was best known for being one the most famous members of surrealism in Mexico.

Her painting is deeply poetic and inspired by Mexican folklore. This activity has also been the way enabling her to express her suffering through dreamlike worlds. Indeed, Frida’s life was full of tragic events, which nevertheless destroyed her unfailing joy of life. At the age of 18, a bus accident seriously injured her spine, crippling her for life and forcing her to wear a metal corset for the rest of her life. Finding refuge in art, she developed a passionate relationship with the artist Diego Riveira. They tried to conceive, but Frida had multiple miscarriages. Her global recognition allowed her to pass to posterity, while constituting a model for many women through her independence and strength of character.

This rich and dramatic life is told to us in a delicate, touching way by Rauda Jamis, a French author of Latin American origin.
