I understand wanting to be different and unique; I respect eccentricity as well but I swear most critics of the status quo are being so just for their own self gratification and therefore no different than those they critique.

God talks to everyone. The question is not "whom does god talk to but "who is listening"

Nothing ends, without a new beginning. Life becomes death as well as death becomes life, and by losing something we often find ourselves.

An old Cherokee was teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. It is a terrible fight, and it is between two wolves." "One is evil -- he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. " "The other is good -- he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. " "This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Who can estimate the elevating and refining influences and moral value of flowers with all their graceful forms, bewitching shades and combinations of colors and exquisitely varied perfumes? These silent influences are unconsciously felt even by those who do not appreciate them consciously and thus with better and still better fruits, nuts, grains, vegetables and flowers, will the earth be transformed, man's thought refined, and turned from the base destructive forces into nobler production. One which will lift him to high planes of action toward the happy day when the Creator of all this beautiful work is more acknowledged and loved, and where man shall offer his brother man, not bullets and bayonets, but richer grains, better fruit and fairer flowers from the bounty of this earth.

Everything you can imagine is real. If there is something to steal, I steal it. Art is the elimination of the unnecessary. Painting is just another way of keeping a diary. I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them. I'd like to live like a poor man with lots of money. We always have a lot of reasons but only one real one. I alway do what I cannot do so I can learn how to do it. I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else. Painting is stronger than me, it makes me do its bidding. We all know that art is not the truth, art is a lie that makes us realize the truth. Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone. There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot and there are others who transform a yellow spot into the sun. God is really only another artist, he made the elephant, giraffe and cat. He has no real style but keeps trying new ideas.

Dancing Leaves
The snow came early this year, burying the leaves beneath as if there was a different message to be given another time. I was partially sadden, for I felt I had missed my favorite season… and it continued for days after, covering the earth and it’s un-raked leaves.
Yet today the sun shown bright, and through the clouds the leaves rose to the sky… lifted by the wind, filling the blue air with heavenly beauty. Leaves everywhere… dancing with joy, the sun glistening on each of them. I had never seen anything like it and I wanted it to last forever.
Tears filled my eyes, music played and as I gazed at this magnificent beauty a voice whispered that I might die soon. I sat still, humbled and afraid, taking in what I thought could be my last breath of beauty.
And then suddenly… I was overwhelmingly filled with joy as I sat in amazement of the sky filled with dancing leaves, blue sky and bright light. For at this moment I realized that I was not to die, perhaps I had already had and too, as the leaves, arose to be reborn to dance in Gods beauty.
