I welcome only your friendship.

Thank you for your support!

All of you have been so kind.

I am really not an artist but:

"All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players" is the phrase that begins a monologue from William Shakespeare's pastoral comedy As You Like It, spoken by the melancholy Jaques in Act II Scene VII Line 139.

About Me:

Birthplace is Planet Earth

Race is Human

Politics is Freedom

Religion is love

Every living heart is my temple

I'm a loving husband

I'm a disabled and retired veteran

I'm sick of WARS

I can lie but I will not

I can steal but I will not

Note:

The end of July 11, 2026, will be my last time on Deviant Arts. I will be closing up shop permanently for personal reasons.

Words of Wisdom I have learned

You must do what you love; therefore, you’ll never work a day in your life.

Create a Life You never need a vacation.

Buddha says, “You cannot See Your Reflection In Boiling Water. Similarly, You Cannot See The Truth In A State Of Anger. When The Waters Calm, Clarity Comes.”

“Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.”

― Osho

“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.” ― Osho

"Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong." -  Mandy Hale

“Truth isn’t light.”

The phrase "Truth isn't light" challenges the common idea that truth is always clear, simple, and good, suggesting instead that it can be complex, uncomfortable, or even destructive, like a deep darkness that reveals painful realities, as noted by Albert Einstein. It implies truth isn't always a comforting revelation but can expose flaws, require difficult acceptance, and reveal harsh facts that people might prefer to ignore, often contrasting with comforting lies or illusions.

Everyone has so many possibilities. I do encourage people to do good.

"Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it."

 ~Mark Twain

Marcus Aurelius

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

“It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.”

Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
