so, what you're saying is: breathe in the breath of destiny and tune my mind with the universe to reveal my destiny. What will be will be the Soul of the World, all that is meant to be will be allowed to be. And all the rivers shall continue to flow into the sea which is even yet still not full.

YOU, once said to me, and I beleive there is some truth in it, said..."Get good at something, really good and wait for the phone to ring". True, it was about TV in the 80's and 90's but there is still some truth innit!

Do not try to run a business in art, passion and painting. Run with your instinct to paint, do a little business else where and then the phone might ring.

or: crawl under a flat stone in a distant desert and die
