Many people might say that I am enjoying a relatively long life. As time moves more swiftly with the passing of years, I am ever more grateful to Consciousness, God, Shiva, Tao, Oneness, and All of Existence for my life. It has been filled with the excitement of discovery, experience, and beauty.

My gratitude is boundless as I gaze into the garden and recognize myself in every leaf, tiny ant, crawling lizard, singing bird, stationary rock, and relentless weed. I bask in the light and warmth of the sun that feeds and nourishes plant life, which in turn sustains all animal and human life.

This is the Nature that I have painted throughout those many years. As I have evolved, and as humanity has evolved, I have grown ever closer to the wisdom of the enlightened Masters: that we are all One, and the Nature I painted as outside of me is really just me. Nature is inside me, inside all of us, inside everything.
