The Fruition of the Seeds of Violence

The Creator Breath has spoken to me in deep repose and has whispered in my ear that my thoughts are like seeds. Which thoughts I water will bear fruit. And what fruit I bear will either be sweet or sour, good or bad depending on which tree I water. When I was young I met an old Indian man whose wisdom was as deep as the ocean. I asked him how to travel the right road? How to know what to do? And how to be a good man? The wise elder said, " I have two dogs who live inside of me. One who is good and one who is bad. These two dogs constantly fight with each other. Each trying to win my thoughts, my heart and my soul". I was astonished by his simple words and then I asked him the all important question, "Which one wins?" He paused and thought for a moment and then said, "The dog I feed." visionary imagist "Joey"

You're good I love it mind body and soul. You are a true eccentric your words given to thought could only be true. The individuals thought to know another reality that others can't see. I have a piece made from an old root of a redwood I believe. I found it on a path, never seeing it before in 8 months at least. Given to me by God. I thought it was a Wizard and a dragon, more months passing I saw it from a drawing I had done. Jesus and the devil and the twin towers coming up in front of Jesus, the devils head melting into the ground. I have sculpted most of it. Your piece just reminded me so much of it. The wood form and it's movement. I love your work.

Artist Reply: Maria: I am glad that you do. I really like this painting too. I saw a picture in a magazine and thought i would paint this bear. I did it a couple of years ago but it still makes me smile. Thanks!!
