Reading from "Liquid Rubies"

If God gives you something to do, why in the world wouldn't you do it?
Stephen King
"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you too can become great." Mark Twain

Poetry is the overflowing of the soul.
Henry Theodore Tuckerman
Wordle: coexist
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans 12:2
The artist brings something to the world that didn't exist before, and he does it without destroying something else.

John Updike (1932-2009)

Bridge to a Millennium
This is my only published piece of art and one of the very few completely original ideas I've ever come up with. It was for the cover of a CD.
