It is in the journey that lies the wonder, ever-journeying, and in awe of every experience along the way; always journeying and never arriving, for just as there are as many galaxies in the universe, and as many stars in outer space, the variety of things to experience in our journeys are so rich, abundant, and so exciting that there should never be an uneventful, or undelightful day.

I have one of these on a rubber stamp that I use for making handmade cards:
"Work like you don't need money. Love like you've never been hurt, and, Dance like no one's watching." I'm still working on just the first part of it.... : )
Wow! Gosh! Thank you!
For me as an artist, I realized that paintings are a byproduct of the creative active, the process of the painting is the result, not the actual painting. When artists realize this and focus on the process, instead of the product, their work improves and becomes more profound.
It is very gratifying to see these comments!
Thank you all very much!
:=D
You, of all people!
I am sooooo honoured. You have such talent! I SHALL obtain at least one of your paintings. The question is . . .which???
To have YOU pay me such a compliment? You have made . . .my . . .daaaaaaaay!!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you ALL so much! This is what I mean by each moment being a delight, and a joy!
It gives me a better outlook on the day already.
Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my dinner post last night!
Thank you all, again, and again, and again.

Thank you, again!
At times, it's a handicap that you know me so well.
Of course, the SWEET thing would be to say something NICE, about the article; even sweeter? That would be to see things as I see them; trust my vision.
The pictures accented the quotes and vice versa. We exist on that journey from the first breath life to the end of eternity. We are truly like the universe with no ending, just a transition.
Again, a great contribution by a greater person.
How sweet!
I'm blushing. Thank you!
Endless places of fantastic color and form, what has so much power and could do such a great work. Love is the answer that is the only thing which can bring about such a universe that we see. So yes thanks for the photos and the fine words, now share your love with the man that will led us into the great and happy things all people should know. Need I say more.
Thanks for the beauty of truth.
