Virginia, as the spirit of creativity

Virginia's friends hold signs written with a thick black marker. All over the country we hold them up proudly. On freeway exits and street corners... any place where all kinds of people can see our cardboard torch. Give no food. And please, no money. After being touched by Virginia, you'll want to give it back anyway. She makes you thirst for another kind of riches, another flavor of nectar. After experiencing Virginia my sign reads,

"To the dancer

the poet,

the painter,

the philosopher,

fear not if you have not nourishment

nor coins in your purse.

Continue to invest in your creative spirit

and the whole world is your's.
