The “X’s” and “O’s” don’t really appear in our skies, but the lines that lay out the spewed sky grid are nonetheless visible in their own sick way. Why do we have to contend with such visual and unhealthy air trash? Could this be a way for population control or some other sinister plan? D.C. knows, but won’t divulge…

The best part of similar images is how they may “work” together in a family portrait. It is visually gratifying to see how some colors or shapes, when viewed in “detail” seem to have been made from the same gene pool. Or maybe not…

From white to red, red to white – the original inhabitants were pushed away as the strangers made their way across the land. Was it right to do so? No, rather than sharing with the real Americans, they tried to obliterate those in their way of progress and expansion. What a heritage that our textbooks bury, so that our real sins are never known.

The overlapping of waking thoughts, words, images, dreams & realities, realities & dreams, conscious and unconscious thoughts are all in consonance. This spectacle mish-mash brings to the beholder a sense of magical wonder and of course, many questions which have no answers. The reality of enjoyment may be all that we need to possess, moment by moment! The blessing is in the beholding…

Nature, the glue that holds humanity together and daily provides a rich bounty. Tis sad that some revere the yen, ruble and dollars at the expense of our home, our Earth (at this point) (is) our only sphere of existence. Shame on those who would desiccate, drown and murder their own Mother. What sick and malevolent humans could do that, day after day, after day, after day?

Positive/negative, a curious way to extract imagery with open or closed space. Intrigued by this design and imagery concept, David frequently likes to employ this method. The concept can stretch one’s mind and direct the imagery flow to places that one can’t ever guess we might travel.

Sometimes owning the keys does not insure that the keys will function, will unlock the magical-ever illusive lock on life. Faith then plays a huge role in the process by giving us the courage to keep trying and achieving the ultimate goal.
