Me, posing as a hotshotkid in my 32 year old skin, while I was standing here, posing for this picture, my world's were colliding. no need to explain. But my stance describes a current battle, and yes, it was 24/7. The image behind me was one of my best paintings. I soon painted it over. Only exists in this background. I think by painting it over, I was attempting to stay in the midwest, resist my own blossoming. I lost all that anyway. You have to consider that the choices we make, the reasons for our choices and the eventual unfolding of our destiny do not always align. But at least we know that by choosing one way or the other, we demonstrate a path back to conscience clear reality. Who could wish for anything more? When it is all said and done.
