naked is normal

2011-07-12T14:26:00.000-07:00

just a thought, as i work on my art. Naked is normal. we are all born and we all die that way. it is a condition shared by all people everywhere all the time. we are, after all , naked under our clothes. no matter how much cloth we drape and decorate with, we just can't escape our own bodies. hate it. love it. repress it. glorify it. we just can't get away from our own bodies. so don't fret. our bodies are all naked, which is normal. and beautiful as well. You are beautiful just the way god made you.

Just a thought

Today Albert Hoffman passed away at the age of 102. Would the world we live in be the same without his discovery? my world would probably be very different indeed. Albert, you are in my thoughts as you go on that final trip into the unknown. Maybe someday the crazy suppression of your invention will be lifted and we will all learn what to do with it. Once the box is open, trying to close it only leads to trouble. Maybe as the wheel turns we'll all get wiser about this.
Love to all of you, especially those of you who shared his 'problem child' with me.
