MY ARTWORK = S O L D

To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is truly to embrace your solitude.

Summer Skin

Gentle breeze hums and sings
I love the darkness
Black with it's mystery
I'm always wearing my evening dress

I make myself secretive
Summer's ambiance camouflages my cold
It's electric
Night becomes my alter

The dream motivates
My creative instincts take me for a walk
I shrunk my mind and threw out my thoughts
Ideas jumped on horses

The divinity of illusion and dreams
This has the power to arouse faith
The romantics accelerated and cheered
Love has made me a fruit

Rising like smoke
My skeleton shakes
Bolts of lightning play drums
The Stars decorate my sweater

-B.D.W.

“Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.” — Osho

“Find ecstasy within yourself. It is not out there. It is in your innermost flowering. The one you are looking for is you.” — Osho

“Nobody can say anything about you. Whatsoever people say is about themselves. But you become very shaky, because you are still clinging to a false center. That false center depends on others, so you are always looking to what people are saying about you. And you are always following other people, you are always trying to satisfy them. You are always trying to be respectable, you are always trying to decorate your ego. This is suicidal. Rather than being disturbed by what others say, you should start looking inside yourself.” — Osho

“Meditation is just the courage to be silent and alone. Slowly, slowly, you start feeling a new quality to yourself; a new aliveness, a new beauty, a new intelligence; which is not borrowed from anybody, but is growing within you. It has roots in your existence.” — Osho

“When you are lonely you start clinging to something which is not for real, which is just a temporary arrangement – a relationship a friendship. And while you are in the relationship you create a little illusion to forget your loneliness. You can create illusions all you want but they are not going to help. When you are content with yourself you start sharing, there is no question of clinging. You flow with existence, you flow with life’s change. It is not a contract, it is not a marriage. It is simply out of your fullness that you want to give, so whosoever happens to be nearer to you, you give it. It does not mean that a human being who is centered in his aloneness, complete in himself, cannot make friends. In fact only he can make friends, because now it is no longer a need, it is just sharing. He has too much; he can share. You can love a person, and if the person loves somebody else there will not be any jealousy, because you loved out of too much joy. It was not a clinging. You were not holding the other person in prison. You were not worried that the other person may slip out of your hands. When you are sharing your joy, you don’t create a prison for anybody. You simply give and do not worry about tomorrow because you are whole; there is no need of anybody else to complete you.” — Osho

“Don’t call it uncertainty- call it wonder. Don’t call it insecurity- call it freedom.” — Osho

“Just look at life with more playful eyes. Don’t be serious. Seriousness becomes like a blindness. Don’t pretend to be a thinker, a philosopher. Just simply be a human being. The whole world is showering its joy on you in so many ways, but if you are too serious, you cannot open your heart.” — Osho

“Listen to your being. It is continuously giving you hints; it is a still, small voice. It does not shout at you, that is true. And if you are a little silent you will start feeling your way. Be the person you are. Never try to be another, and you will become mature. Maturity is accepting the responsibility of being oneself, whatsoever the cost. Risking all to be oneself, that’s what maturity is all about.” — Osho

“Meditation is nothing but withdrawing all the barriers, thoughts, emotions, sentiments; everything that builds a wall between you and existence. The moment they drop, you suddenly find yourself in tune with the whole; not only in tune, you really find you are the whole.” — Osho

“Millions of people have decided not to be sensitive. They have grown thick skins around themselves just to avoid being hurt by anybody. But it is at great cost. Nobody can hurt them, but nobody can make them happy either.” — Osho

Where is she - Brian Wilson

“Life consists of rare, isolated moments of the greatest significance, and of innumerably many intervals, during which at best the silhouettes of those moments hover about us. Love, springtime, every beautiful melody, mountains, the moon, the sea - all these speak completely to the heart but once, if in fact they ever do get a chance to speak completely” — F. Nietzsche

“My mother said to me, ‘If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.’ Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.” - Pablo Picasso

“Behind this mask there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea… and ideas are bulletproof.” — Alan Moore

When you are really in the flow with your Inner Being, ideas come easily—they are implemented easily. It’s fun while you are in the process of them, and it doesn’t matter how they unfold; and nothing can go wrong, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t get it done, it’s just fun to do it. Your Inner Being feels no limit.

“If your inner being changes, your whole outer life will be totally different. It will have a different fragrance, a different beauty, a different grace. And when your inner being is changed and becomes a flame of light; you will become a light unto others too. You will become a beckoning light; a great herald of a new dawn. Your very presence will trigger revolutions in other people’s lives.” — Osho

“You will know when you are of value to anyone when you are able to think about the person and feel good at the same time. When you love others without worry, you are an advantage to them. When you enjoy them, you help them. When you expect them to succeed, you help them. In other words, when you see them as your own Inner-Being sees them, then and only then is your association with them to their advantage.” - Abraham Hicks

“We meet ourselves time and again in a thousand disguises on the path of life.” — Carl Gustav Jung

-Remy Noel

“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.” — Carl Jung

“People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own souls.” — Carl Jung

Not everyone who started with you will finish with you. Be willing to go without them if you have to.

Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something, wearing stripes with plaid comes easy. -Albert Einstein

I love bathtubs.

The Verve - Voyager 1 (Live LP )

"She sat listening to the music. It was a symphony of triumph. The notes flowed up, they spoke of rising and they were the rising itself, they were the essence and the form of upward motion, they seemed to embody every human act and thought that had ascent as its motive. It was a sunburst of sound, breaking out of hiding and spreading open. It had the freedom of release and the tension of purpose. It swept space clean, and left nothing but the joy of an unobstructed effort. Only a faint echo within the sounds spoke of that from which the music had escaped, but spoke in laughing astonishment at the discovery that there was no ugliness or pain, and there never had to be. It was the song of an immense deliverance." — Ayn Rand

"It’s not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life, it’s what you whisper to yourself that has the most power."

"To become really good at anything,you have to practice and repeat, practice and repeat, until the technique becomes intuitive" — Paulo Coelho

"Watching television is like taking black spray paint to your third eye." — Bill Hicks

"Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life." — Paulo Coelho

“My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists.” — Nikola Tesla

“It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects.” -Nikola Tesla

“As a semblance of life is produced by a rapid succession of inanimate pictures, so many of our perceptions are but trickery of the senses, devoid of reality. The greatest triumphs of man were those in which his mind had to free itself from the influence of delusive appearances. Such was the revelation of Buddha that self is an illusion caused by the persistence and continuity of mental images: the discovery of Copernicus that, contrary to all observation, this planet rotates around the sun; the recognition of Descartes that the human being is an automaton, governed by external influence and the idea that the earth is spherical, which led Columbus to the finding of this continent.” — Nikola Tesla

“You can never have a happy ending at the end of an unhappy journey; it just doesn’t work out that way. The way you’re feeling, along the way, is the way you’re continuing to pre-pave your journey, and it’s the way it’s going to continue to turn out until you do something about the way you are feeling."

“The more fully you learn to live, the more the seemingly hidden mysteries of the universe begin to appear.” -Jane Roberts

“Each day also holds within it the answers to current problems. If you are aware of a particular problem (challenge), therefore, you can be assured that its solution is as much there and with you as the problem is. The solution is simply the problem’s other side, upon which you may not be focusing. There will even be clear clues as to the proper direction for you to take — these will already be within your experience, but unrecognized because you are concentrating so upon the problem. This applies to any kind of dilemma.” — Jane Roberts

“Your beliefs act like a hypnotist. As long as the particular directions are given, so will your “automatic” experience conform. The one suggestion that can break through is this: “I create my reality, and the present is my point of power.” — Jane Roberts

“The only darkness we should allow into our lives is the night, and even then, we have the moon.” — Warsan Shire

Kiss me in a way I’ll never forget.

And suddenly you know, it's time to start something new and trust the magic of new beginnings...

What Mark Rothko thinks about modern art & people

"Her silence is mine." — Marc Chagall

“To create reality, a poet must first have the force to kill it. But instantly the fragments draw again together, in love with each other, seeking one another, coming together with desire, with the obscure presentiment of the new life to which they are destined. And the first real moment of creation in that tumultuous and fragmentary world is the moment when those fragments find a point, a centre around which they can press. It is then that the poet’s creation comes out from the unlimited, which makes it fluctuant, and takes on a definite form - it is then that it comes to birth.” -Marc Chagall

“Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things that revolve around love.” — Marc Chagall

.. A twilight kiss, in between the stars.. Mystical winds, adorn us like scarves.. Tainted breaths, from passions of light.. Each flame love flickers, our vibrations collide.

“The most rejuvenating idea of all, and the greatest step to any true illumination, is the realization that your exterior life springs from the invisible world of your reality through your conscious thoughts and beliefs, for then you realize the power of your individuality.” — Jane Roberts

“Close your eyes, and try to sense within yourself the source of power from which your own breathing and life forces come. Some of you will do this successfully at your first try. Others may take longer. When you feel within yourself this source, then try to sense this power flow outward through your entire physical being, through the fingertips and toes, through the pores of your body, all directions, with yourself as the center. Imagine the rays undiminished, reaching then through the foliage and clouds above, through the center of the earth below, extending even to the farthest reaches of the universe.” -Jane Roberts

“I tell you this to break your heart, by which I mean only that it break open and never close again to the rest of the world.” — Mary Oliver
