Us and Them?
Us and Them Truly words to make you stop Think about the meaning Shall we stay here in the USA Or is the world the platform To try to understand the dilemma We battle and set to war Everyday a quagmire Each to their own understanding So sad but so true We cannot control the perceptions Nor the responses to Differentials between us Some … Read More Us and Them?
In the Still of the Morning
Ideas awaken the mind Creativity flows in the wee hours Most are sleeping I’m awake Connecting dots Between past and future I am the gateway Here in this present moment I decide what to leave in What should be shed like a skin Past is gone but it teaches Future can be wildly exciting If only I choose right Which way to go Before … Read More In the Still of the Morning
Mind Bending- Rapid Growth
From conception to 8 years of age The brain develops at lightning speed We are led, as in a hypnotic trance At the mercy of others guidance What we feed it, will grow Starve what you do not want to live there What we do then and from there Makes us who we are body and soul The mind is the power behind … Read More Mind Bending- Rapid Growth
The Hope Of New
There is a time for everything under the sun There are decades and eras They bring with them trials Tragedies and Triumphs The best of times The worst of times The lessons learned To only give up when the ship Will take you down So you must jump Jump and the Universe will catch you Stubbornness may serve you Or it may drown you … Read More The Hope Of New
I Can Feel It
Somehow nostalgia gripped me tonight I remembered things best forgotten But all those memories brought me here today I had made a breakthrough yesterday I realized secrets of the heart Not clouded anymore by fear Doubt or worry When the heart is open And the mind is too It is a powerful tool for advancement In a world that rewards For all the wrong … Read More I Can Feel It
The Seed of Transformation
A mustard seed is the most humble of all So small, so unassuming It does not know that its destiny is to be GREAT and TALL When it fell to the ground it worried Many birds came and ate many seeds But this little seed had a destiny It was trampled upon Dirt covered it Darkness consumed it It wondered whether It would have … Read More The Seed of Transformation
All Creatures GREAT and small
I don’t care where you are in the food chain Or on the social plane From mole to elephant From shark to sloth There lies one truth All desire to live free All want to feel safe The hierarchy of needs must be met In order to reach the highest level Of pure, unadulterated creativity One’s true self uncovered By shedding survival mode By … Read More All Creatures GREAT and small

I am at one with myself I am a teacher I am a listener I am a pro-claimer I want more So much more I want to follow The path that leads me to it I am standing on the high board Not sure if I know how to swim But I want to trust That my soul knows the way Fueled by my … Read More Inspired
Born to be Free
I am breathing hard as my steps are pulling me forward Winding through the trees my heart races I left the path seeking adventure Always needing to explore to find the unexpected There is just so much more So many live by the rules Safe in a ritual of obsessive order Stifled by a strict regiment I ran out the door Freedom is power … Read More Born to be Free

Hi Friends, I am thrilled to tell you I moved into a small art studio located inside the One Way Gallery in Narragansett, RI.

The people were nice … Read More Welcome to my studio!
