...inspiration and the 5 senses......labrynths of all sorts..."By constant self-discipline and self-control you can develop greatness of character." -Grenville Kleiser"Those who have been too long at their labor, who have drunk too long at the cup of voluptuousness, who feel they have become temporarily inhumane, who are tormented by their families, who find life sad and love ephemeral; they should all eat chocolate and they will be comforted." -Brillat-Savarin"Be not afraid of growing slowly, Be afraid only of standing still""Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them,we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them." -Orison Swett Marden"The real truth is always beautiful and real beauty is always true. The journey of the true artist is his odyssey. It is the road that leads from the doorway of his home to the universe and back again." -Vladimir Kush"Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. To perform this difficult office it is sometimes necessary for him to sacrifice happiness and everything that makes life worth living for the ordinary human being." -Carl Jung"Every time you don't follow your inner guidance, you feel a loss of energy, loss of power, a sense of spiritual deadness." - Shakti Gawain"knitting while reciting different levels of conciousness" -Gabriel Zweig"Life is like photography, you use the negatives to develop." -unknown"If you limit your choices to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise." - Robert Fritz"Once your soul has been enlarged by a truth, it can never return to its original size" -Blaise Pascal

I’m honest - blunt even, if you can't handle it then please make your way to the door. I will not change the way I behave to satisfy you…no matter how hard you try....it would be nice to meet someone who likes to take pictures as much as I do...Drop me a line...
