0.1. Hopedia is a vehicle, a medium and a focus point. Each one of these attributes influences the others. At any time any of these can be the force and energy needed for the generation and expression of ideas.
0.2. These three forms make a triangle. The vertexes of this triangle define an area, a space where creative things happen, a conducive environment, a fertile ground. It is in this space that the ideas, feelings and emotion, stimulate the necessary movements of the mind that lead to expression and formation.
0.3. What makes something positive is not for us to say. We certainly don’t hold the truth nor the absolute knowledge of that. We are all on this plane to experience our becoming and through our experience find more about our inner selves, if such a thing exists. Doing that respecting the otherness we feel it qualifies as positive.
0.4. Hopedia’s output springs from intentions and it is driven by feelings and emotions. As such it is personal to the artists and it is unique. However in some mysterious ways it may resonate and create connections and become relevant to others.
0.5. And this is possibly the beautiful mystery of our role on this plane. While in many respects we are alone and solely responsible for our lives and their becoming, we are all small parts of a giant web, where all is connected and interdependent. Understanding and going beyond this apparent conflict between diversity and togetherness is one of the lifetime achievements.
