Artist Reply: Thea, these quotes interested my in the sense of how long a human carries pain with them and how often it is thought of. My theory is that it becomes non-existent the second you have no use for it any more or you have experienced it fully. First we as humans agonize over whether we deserve this pain, be it psychic or physical or in matters of love. That is really not my question at present, the question I have most apparent is how do I rid myself of this quickly so that I don't make it so long and tedious a malady. Thus the quotes. I researched a bit and wondered why in the past and not now as I feel very little discomfort have I agonized over something when in truth I should have spent that time ridding myself of the affliction. Deep thoughts for breakfast, but you seemed to be interested in why I posted those quotes. But on the good side, things do not bother me as long as they used to and sometimes for short instances. Which has become a great tool for me. Thanks so much for you great generosity in commenting on my work and I would love to see more of your masterful art. You do genius work and I am anxious to see what you will produce next. My kindest regards, my great and talented friend. And thanks so much. Michael
