I preferred an artist who transformed his time$$$ not mirrored it. - reference to Andy Warhol

Angel looks down at him and says$$$ Oh$$$ pretty boy$$$ Can't you show me nothing but surrender?

We learned we wanted too much. We could only give from the perspective of who we were and what we had. Apart$$$ we were able to see with even greater clarity that we didn't want to be without each other.

I imagined myself as Frida to Diego$$$ both muse and maker. I dreamed of meeting an artist to love and support and work with side by side.

The Lord gives us wings<br>He gives us a stomach<br>We can fly or vomit.

It seemed as if the whole of the world was slowly being stripped of innocence. Or maybe I was seeing a little too clearly.

10 percent of any population is cruel$$$ no matter what$$$ and 10 percent is merciful$$$ no matter what$$$ and the remaining 80 percent can be moved in either direction.

For in my nature I quested for beauty$$$ but God$$$ God hath sent me to sea for pearls.

But restraint is the only one sort of control$$$ and absence of restraint isn't freedom. It's not control that's lacking when one feels 'free'$$$ but the objectionable control of force.

Not everyone is willing to defend a position of 'not knowing.' There is no virtue in ignorance for its own sake.
