God's Paintbrush

     Sometimes on a bright day 
     when I close my eyes real tight,
     I see all kinds of colours —
     green and purple and red and blue.
     I think these are just like God's colours.

     I know God's colours are in me, too.
     And I can paint with God's paintbrush.

How to See

One of the mistakes religions made was
to emphasize "what" to see, instead of "how" to see.

Every Moment

     Cancer changed the way I ate, slept, and most
     importantly the way I live. Before cancer I was like most
     folks, just cruising along. It was during my treatment,
     when starting to discover what cancer could give to me —
     the ability to absorb every moment as if each one were
     my whole life.

Works of art

Works of art are of an infinite loneliness and with nothing to be so little appreciated as with criticism. Only love can grasp and hold and fairly judge them.
