About Me

People tell me I am intimidating and a strong female - I disagree. I'd say I'm a bizarre and unorthodox person that loves genuine and warm people only.ARTISTIf you want to see my work please go here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/beanmost/sets/335351/======== "All the misery on the planet arises due to a personalized sense of "me" or "us." That covers up the essence of who you are. When you are unaware of that inner essence, in the end you always create misery. It's as simple as that. When you don't know who you are, you create a mind-made self as a substitute for your beautiful divine being and cling to that fearful and needy self." ======"When you walk through a forest that has not been tamed and interfered with by man, you will see not only abundant life all around you, but you will also encounter fallen trees and decaying trunks, rotting leaves and decomposing matter at every step. Wherever you look, you will find death as well as life.Upon closer scrutiny, however, you will discover that the decomposing tree trunk and rotting leaves not only give birth to new life, but are full of life themselves. Microorganisms are at work. Molecules are rearranging themselves. So death isn't to be found anywhere. There is only the metamorphosis of life forms. What can you learn from this?Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal."

My discussion on ART

At this point I've realized that I will never make a living or even half a living on any type of fine art making. I'm so frustrated that artists with work that looks so half-ass, not deep, and appears...
