Joanna Witzel - Takes Two to Tango- Joy & Woe

Joanna's "Love-Passion-Dreams" - Mankind's Sweetest Joy, Wildest Woe- is LOVE



Joanna Witzel "LOVE-PASSION-DREAMS"
 Still continuing on the two thread's previous topic:

Through Pearl Bailey, Joanna who teaches mathematics  tells us again through her Kalligraphia 13 piece "Love-Passion-Dreams" what is most important in life- LOVE.

La joie la plus douce, la plus sauvage malheur, c’est l’amour: the sweetest joy,the wildest woe is love.
 
When Black History month is celebrated, one of the persons mentioned is Pearl Bailey . In 1970  she was known as the "Ambassador of Love" at the United Nations. During her time period, it was difficult for black actors and singers  to get a role but she did get important roles because she was  a terrific singer  known for her 'sultry singing'.

Images & a  word serve as an anchor point to jumpstart your writing. Thanks Joanna for getting a quote from Pearl Bailey  because it took me to the world of  Music, Broadway, Theater, Film, Black History. Pearl was also in the film "Porgy & Bess" based on the musical composition of the celebrated brothers George & Ira Gershwin. Bailey won a Tony for  "Hello Dolly" & an Emmy for a tv show special.

The popular idiom "It takes two to tango"  was also Pearl Bailey's hit  song "Takes Two to Tango" in 1950.

See what an image  in Kalligraphia 13 does? It takes you everywhere so that's how I select a piece to write in this blog  if it inspires and triggers me to write.

Want to feel alive. Read another Pearl  Bailey's quote :
“A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive.”
