About

To My Beard What can I say but I am sorry, I apologize for what I do to you, my daily ruthlessness and cruelty. What can I do but ask for your forgiveness and your patience. For someday, I promise you, someday I swear on the beards of the prophets and on the beard of the poet Whitman and on the beard of the president Lincoln, I will not stop you any longer, I will let you go free, I will take down the fence around you made of sharp blades. For someday, I promise you, I will let you run wild through the valleys of my face like a stallion, I will let you wander over the desert of my face like a holy man in his vision of heaven and hell, I will let you grow, blossom and flourish, and I will stroke you and comb you and keep you orderly and free of knots and tangles, and you in turn will make me look distinguished, a wise old man as I stroke you looking serious, looking as though I were thinking deep thoughts about life and death. But I will be thinking only about you, my beard, my second face, and this will be our secret. J.R. Solonche ***...Beards must be worn to gain entry at the Private View. Face paints and a selection of beautifully hand crafted beards will be available on site for those who are not able to grow/make their own...***
