Writing/Essay/Journal
Charlie Parr performs the song Where You Gonna Be (When The Good Lord Calls You Home?). If you knew you only had a year left to live – how would that change the way you live your life? What would you want to do in your last year left? If you knew you were going to live to be a hundred – how would that change the way you live your life? How can you find the balance between these two? Also, how does Parr incorporate a sense of play or playfulness into his pieces? How would you express yourself using Parr’s type of art? What would you want to say and how would you say it?

Activity
Create a piece of art that reflects how you want to live the rest of your life and the balance you have chosen between living for today and living for the future.
