Friday and feeling good like I know that I should. Hoping that you are too and if not I hope to rectify this here, now with my art & quotes from great mystics.

Good day and blessings love and peace to you and all beings.

As the few who are getting to see this website may or may not know, it is no longer officially mine, as there was no mechanism this year to renew it and the provider has put it up for sale. I did not feel it right as a poor and mostly unkown artist that I should pay for the site which my work at one short point which admittedly lasted only a few days;  was getting from 13,000 views a day rising to 27,000 one day! 
This did not last and they all left on mass and it went back to the low hundreds from the world in totality. That was fine though as its every individual who is important to me and my heavenly Father.

Now my brothers and sisters, without further ado I shall share some of my latest work with you.

For the fish on Friday element I shall be sharing some quotes which you along with me may like to meditate on.  



Everything praises God. Darkness, privations, defects, evil too praise God and bless God.
– Meister Eckhert

The above quote is at first glance hard for some to understand and this is why If the case I suggest one doesnt think on it and come to your own conclusions, but leave your mind open the Gods grace to enlighten your spirit.



 To reach satisfaction in all
desire its possession in nothing.
To come to possess all
desire the possession of nothing.
to arrive at being all
desire to be nothing.
To come to the knowledge of all
desire the knowledge of nothing.
—- St. John of the Cross

The earth does not belong to the people; the people belong to the earth. . . this earth is precious to the Creator and to harm the earth is to heap contempt upon its Creator. . . .
