DangerSmith Skill#37

DangerSmith works hard to stay in top condition . . . his life is so dangerous, after all.  At any moment, he may break out into one his death defying, super-human power skills. AND he finds it very difficult to keep his shirt on . . . but that's another story altogether.

Danger Smith

Wow! I've been away a long time. Been busy. . . and maybe a little lost as we artists sometimes get. But, I'M BACK! 

So . . . I found this old 8" size action figure/doll the other day and thought I'd go in another direction with my photography. Just for fun. Introducing DangerSmith. You never know where he'll turn up!

But . . . Where's The Reading Material?

I'm going to start placing more photography up here as my business grows. This is a bathroom I shot last week. Seriously, and this is just me, I would have a hard time using it. It was so clean and expensive . . . among other things.

Hmm. . . to each their own.

Never Forget

There is nothing more dangerous than forgetting. As history has taught us, forgetting means repeating. Some things we want to forget. Some thing we can't forget. Then there are those things we remember forever because we have to. We have to remember them, because they made us who we are - they've literally spun together the fabric of our lives. Whether we regret them or regret what we've done or regret not doing it better and harder; whether we hated them or loved them; whether they did us great evil or great good–forgetting them would be like forgetting ourselves. They are us. The experiences are us. We must keep them in our minds, always in front, never forgetting and let it be fuel for our future actions. That is remembrance, memorial. It is Myosotis. . . both an enemy and a friend.

And yet, God chooses to forget . . . as far as the East is from the West. He forgets. Our every action is failure . . . and He chooses to forget.

Lover . . .

 
True love endures the worst kinds of pain . . . even betrayal. Appropriately symboled, everyone alive understands an arrow through their heart. No matter how "cutsie" our society tries to make love look, the reality is, it's not for the fainthearted. It cannot justly be measured by infatuation but by passion–synonymous with pain. It requires great courage and endurance. It gives without  regard to return on investment. But when unrequited, it can turn lives to stone. It requires everything and yet is shown in simple acts. And when shown in monumental ways, it's as if it cost nothing. Nothing else has been labeled "strong as death" by the Great Book and it is fertilizer out of which the Deep Magic grows. It is the author of life, and yet has been known to kill its owner. Nothing has been more eagerly and zealously sought by those who do not own it. Because true love . . . . . . . . . .true love never dies.

God is Love.
