"God cannot express himself fully in one creature and so he has produced many and diverse life-forms, so that what one lacks in its expression of goodness maybe compensated for by the others: for goodness in God is single and undifferentiated, in creatures is refracted into a myriad of hues of being." --- St. Thomas Aquinas

" Art will remain the most astonishing activity of mankind born out of struggle between wisdom and madness, between dream and reality in our mind." --- Magdalena Abakanowicz ***one wee hour and can't sleep... "Did I disappoint you? Leave a bad taste in your mouth?... " --- U2 You still come, when you feel like it... And recently, it doesn't bother as much... I guess, what was is something I have to live with... To teach me not to go to that level again... Ever. Sometimes, I hope you'll explain... but for all your eloquence, your words... were never there. You are self-absorbed and selfish with time.. your life all your own... Everyone else needs to take a number... And I have fallen behind... and right now, it doesn't matter... But sometimes, I just hate it... when I remember those regretful memories... but I'm OK... may not be all alright... but I've traveled on farther down the path now... and I realized I don't need you to trek on... what I first thought as grand is really silly... and what was silly is all grand...
