    All of what we do and come in contact with makes up all that we are and all that we become...

    The Art of Life

    The Art of Life


    Life's Perspectives are our opportunities and obstacles all bunched together...


    We either learn to look at the entire picture and see a masterpiece in the continual process that is being achieved through a series of special events & adventures, or we choose to endlessly worry about what will happen next - as if there are a million pieces to pick up without the physical capacity to put it all in order.


    ...A million pieces of everything thrown together to create one thing (one's portrait of life) can form quite an artful mosaic; so that when looking at the whole picture others will see that what materialized is a masterpiece of self existence...

    A nice philosophy for life. Each person's life story is different. Some grow and some fall.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
