Monday Mural: Longfellow quote

While out and about in the Longfellow neighborhood of West Oakland I found this newish mural sponsored by the local community association.  It was done in 2015 by Jason Pyrzynski, who is originally from Chicago but now lives in Oakland.  The poem celebrates an openness to life with one's fellow man.  A good thought to begin the new year.

  2. Nice text but don't get the immediate connection between the words and the rather crystalline sphere next to it. As a stand alone a very colorful and nice one but in combination.
