There is luck to success at first.
In a specific relative order
But what if you are of a different kind?
Can we make the impossible possible?
We have to change something
Do you have to earn your share?
Dragged along with the flow of
Great discoveries and achievements.
Few of us will bet on that new horse.
N​​ot a new age for pioneers.
Information on the face
Is a conman’s pitch on the back end
How can anyone ignore this fact?
No man shows his character so carefully,
As when he devotes himself
to portraying someone else

Abstract pain in my head,
Feels like darkness
Clawing its way out
Wish I didn’t have this human form.
Cursed with absurd anatomy
Aforementioned abstract become acute
Developed a significant suffering
I wish to endure it in private
Unsee this aspect of humanity.
Regain my normal again

What do you think of,
when you see Green?
Does it mean the same in the West?
In China? In Russia?
Which colo(u)r is truest everywhere?

Be a colo(u)rist
Fascinated with the meanings of colo(u)rs
When people think of them.
Experience them.
Not when they are assigned them

Borders create abstract works.
Dialogue between geometry and softness
Battle between system and feeling
These lines carry an impressive collection
Of cultural influences & cultural calmaties
These lines are global, not local
Unless the softness is made hard
By metal and concrete structures
And bullets and blood in the air
This human imagined line
Cutting through bone and sinew

The universe shows Her work

Not just another fiction

According only to Him

The opportunity of every being

Combining intimate moments

With history and time

These moments live and breathe

Cross cultural beauty and identity.

This is not a picture that will fade

This is an art that will endure

You came from the country
Have you forgotten
Your ancestors:
Farmers & blacksmiths
Working & Repairing
You didn’t start this:
You helped build it
Not by making blueprints
Not by creating plans
By lifting with backs and hands

Some thoughts about returning to that place

a fascinating cultural mirror

a quality not peculiar to this century

They believe in Freedom™ there

Freedom of religion (Christian) &

Freedom of speech (Conservative)

Each of these perspectives immutable

Not moving outside the boundaries of past experience

No deeper understanding of complexity

No explanation of complex principles

the perfect introduction to today's values
