After sixteen years on the job, and having given my self to
the corporate efforts I'd assumed valuable
and understood, and having fended off the beast of money
while watching my "boss" fall over dead
in front of me on my forty second birthday ( with management
looking on saying "hey, who is that guy?"), I felt best when I
forgave the whole process rather than to continue to fight.
The painting FORGIVE applies to HEART ATTACK, MONEY and
SELF-PORTRAIT(42). It helped me forgive a world I never saw.
“a person can
be what they want to be
and
should be just, and only, themselves”
I did, on my forty-second birthday, the portrait in this
section. It was done the same night as ATTACK. Its' image shows impact. The
portrait shows questioning of everything at a time of realization. The world
was a foreign place, requiring changes of perceptions for my survival.
"peace
comes in forgiving. “
