This Quote by Stopford Brooke ( Religion In Literature and Religion In Life 1910 ) reflects alot of What I Feel about Life and How I Choose To Live It - With All My Todays and Tomorrows. .............
" Whatever religious faith, feelings, and hopes we have, we are bound to shape them into form in life - not only at home; but in the work we do in the world. Whatever we feel - justly we ought to shape; whatever we think - to give it clear form; whatever we have inside of us - our duty is to mold it outside of ourselves into clear speech or act - WHICH IF IT BE LOVING, WILL BE LUMINOUS. " .............My Name is HAROLD BRAMMER and I was born in 1953 on the Vernal Equinox ( "Spring" ) - a "Twin Son borne of a Twin Mother" ( which is More Rare than I originally had thought ) ... and am Single - 6 ft. 1 inch and around 175 lbs. ............. I must say That I Really Love THE PERSON THAT I AM and Even With The Name I Was Given - as it contains "OLD" in the spelling ... and interestingly, I have Always Felt Like "An Old Soul". ... In Retrospect, It's ALL Been An Extraordinary Life thusfar ! I just never dreamed that It Could Have Manifested ItSelf "So Fittingly Beautiful & Meaningful" in The Divine Reason and Purpose with The Script of My Being "HAROLD". Interestingly, the More I have braved The Pursuits of Truth and Goodness, and Yielded To GOD's WILL To Be Done ( whatever the endeavor or it's outcome )- The Greater Affirmations of Peace have Washed Over Me and Nurtured My Mind, Heart, Soul, And Body ... and Greater & Greater PEACE continue to Abound ! ( That Peace and That Joy are worth a zillion-times-more than Any Physical Stuff I could amass for my comfort and pleasure in this World, and I would not trade IT for Anything ! I KNOW HOW TRULY BLESSED I AM and I AM GRATEFUL ! ) ............. Now - for "Some More Particulars About MySelf" ... I am a 1975 Honors Art Graduate from East Carolina University - Greenville, North Carolina USA. Since graduation, I have been a Professional Artist holding positions as Art Director at Advertising Agencies, a University Art School, and an International Psychotherapy Institute. My Free-Lance Art-Career has spanned the last Twenty-Five Years ... and in that time, I have become Nationally & Internationally-Recognized ( in juried Painting Competitions & Decorative-Arts Shows, and in Print Media ) as a Painter of Portraits ( People/Pets/& Places ); Figurative Works; Visionary Art ( with an ongoing "Life-Journey Metaphors" Series ); Trompe L'oeil & Faux-Finishes, and Decorative Furniture Painting; ... an experienced Event Planner, Designer, & Decorator for Corporate Galas & Fundraisers in Coliseums & Convention Centers, and an Interior Decorating Consultant . ............. I am Psychologically & Spiritually-Focused, and also serve as a Counselor & Teacher - when not Producing Creatively, and am healthily caring-enough to be a steadfast and loyal Friend. ............. I love the mountains; but perhaps love being-out-of-my-clothes at the beach even more. In my free-time I enjoy reading, creative-writing and world-wide correspondence, cooking, hiking & camping, sunning, and Time With Friends - though find MySelf rather focused these days caregiving My One Remaining Parent. ............ * YOU MAY VIEW MY ARTWORK HERE - UNDER "PICS" or This Site's "rotating Art Show" - and at: HAROLDBRAMMER.COM ( where My Figure Drawings, Other Artwork, and Resume' may be viewed more extensively )... * And - If You Will - Please Respect The Protected Rights & Sole Personal Use Of My ArtWork Posted Here for JUST Your Viewing Pleasure - Thank You ! . .............
