Welcome to a view through a window to my Art and Word-Play. Born in Ireland and regard the World as my home and therefore I am constantly seeking to discover myself through my art, to mold my own identity as a human being and to find a meaning in the Universe as to why I am here ... I create to feel alive and live in the certainty of the uncertainty happening in my Art/Life.

'' Human Beings have no colour ''.

'' Some people find religion after the Devil rejected them ''.

'' The Mind can and will always play ' tricks ' but can you tell the difference ''.

''In politices ........ I would not be worried about the things that are talked about but would be very concerned about the things that are not talked about ''.

'' Just because you are lost it does not mean your compass is broken ''.

'' Some Artists are able to move between many worlds in the Mind but when we surrender ourselves to the imagination we need signposts to find our way back , where ever that may
be ''.

Just a thought ; .... '' Human conflicts of any kind and natural disasters are part of our world which will never change and they will always be with us but we can and have survived so long as we remember that the collective Ego does not get in the way and that we have not lost the use of reason as Human Beings otherwise we are on the road to self destruct in more ways than one . So for those in power I am hoping the collective Ego is not in the play or is this to much to hope for ? and to answer that ........ yes it is even to much to ask for , but if we bring ourselves into balance with nature and with our fellow Human Beings we have more than a good chance I would think , but this is only a thought and may never go into pratice , knowing human nature ''.

Just a thought ........ '' Why is it that people turn their heads even when the evidence is shouting out to them that the times we are living in is moving so fast that we can be left behind and all that is happening today was once a dream in other men's minds ........ and it's too flippened to say ' such is life '...... I think so , but so called progress will move us on in many ways that now more than ever Human Beings within their own stability of Mind have to build more ' walls ' to stop insecutity creeping in and as in everything Time will tell if we can cope with our own ' zest ' for progress . We cannot predict the future but we can and do invent it for mankind will keep moving forward in spite of his so called fears of the outcome and it will be all passed off as ' how we use it '......''.

'' We are what are thoughts are and therefore we alone are our own keeper ''.

'' I do not want to be led , I would sooner stand on my own two feet than my head and see the world upside down ''.

'' You have already failed in life if you sit back and do nothing ''.

'' Behind every successful person is the fear of failure ''.

'' I was born innocent into this world and I would hope to die innocent ''.

Just a thought ....... If you accept the status quo in life how do you expect to find self worth ......... but the people who ' feel ' they have all they need out of life are quite content in their status quo for them life is a Do Not Rock The Boat situation ........ status quo to me is an English boogie rock band formed in the early 1960's and still on the go in 2010 ...... I accept that ' status quo ' ..... Rocking All Over The World ...... ''.

'' Having a creative mind saves you from boredom but you pay the price in that everything else is boring ''.

'' When you start thinking of the future you are already in it , better to slow down and know the present ...... why rush ''.

'' It takes a strong will just to get through life and a stronger will to ' hang in ' there , but keep it in mind , there is no such thing as a free ride ''.

Think about this ; ....... '' There is enough religion in the world for men to hate and kill each other for their beliefs but there is not enough religion for men to live in harmony with each
other ''.

It's a waste of your time thinking about what other people think of you ...... if you only knew how rarely people think of you ''.

'' Like a drip that is slow to drop I move into acceptance day by day for it is what my intuition knows already and for me to open to it ''.

'' In growing old it is said you become wiser and that maybe true for some but others die before they ' wise up ' in how to put it to use ''.
