Greetings one and all. Today is the day The Lord has made and it is Good. Today I post photos of Art I have made - some which is still wet its that new - which I hope you will also find good.
So below I have been painting with my heart and letting my mind be still!
“We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we
need humanity; more than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.”
Charles Chaplin
“Life is a beautiful magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish.”

Now this is a question for you. Where may you have seen this little boy again in the future?

Hey look below, its Jackie Coogan all grown up and playing uncle Fester in the Adams family!
“We think too much and feel too little.”

My sentiments exactly Charlie.
Oh my darling. Who ripped the stuffing out of your bed?
What, not you!
“I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I
don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if
possible; Jew, Gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one
another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each others
happiness, not by each others misery. We don't want to hate and despise
one another. In this world there is room for everyone, and the good
earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free
and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls,
has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery
and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has
made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and
feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than
cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities,
life will be violent and all will be lost. The airplane and the radio
have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions
cries out for the goodness in men; cries out for universal brotherhood;
for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions
throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women, and little
children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison
innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair. The
misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness
of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass,
and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return
to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave
you; who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and
what to feel! Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as
cannon fodder. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine
men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines, you are
not cattle, you are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts!
You don't hate! Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.
Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth
chapter of St. Luke, it is written that the kingdom of God is within
man, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the
people, have the power, the power to create machines, the power to
create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free
and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the
name of democracy, let us use that power. Let us all unite. Let us fight
for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work,
that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of
these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not
fulfill that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but
they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfill that promise. Let
us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers! To do
away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for a world of
reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's
happiness. Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!”

“Your naked body should only belong to those who fall in love with your naked soul.”

Charles Chaplin
As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody
if I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time
was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this
person was me. Today I call it “RESPECT”.
As I began to love
myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that
everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today I call it
“MATURITY”.
As I began to love myself I understood that at any
circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and everything
happens at the exactly right moment. So I could be calm. Today I call it
“SELF-CONFIDENCE”.
As I began to love myself I quit stealing my
own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future. Today, I
only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that
make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm.
Today I call it “SIMPLICITY”.
As I began to love myself I freed
myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things,
situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At
first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is “LOVE
OF ONESELF”.
As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be
right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered
that is “MODESTY”.
As I began to love myself I refused to go on
living in the past and worrying about the future. Now, I only live for
the moment, where everything is happening. Today I live each day, day by
day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT”.
As I began to love myself I
recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But as I
connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally. Today I call
this connection “WISDOM OF THE HEART”.
We no longer need to fear
arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or
others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are
born. Today I know “THAT IS LIFE”!”

Charles Chaplin This especially has made me see Charlie in a who new light. I was getting there but this is what brought an epiphany. Is that the right word?
“I'm in the back of a limousine with Charlie Chaplin and it’s 1928.
Charlie is beautiful; his body language seems to skip, and reel and
rhyme, heartbreaking and witty at the same time. It seems to promise a
better world.”
