Everyone exists to heal:
we are born to be altruistic.
But the trauma of our births
hinders us.

The more I love the subject,
that is to say,
the more I feel loved by it,
the more will you feel loved
by my photo of it.

All forms of Creativity
are but differing ways
of manifesting the Muse,
the Mother of Love.

My painting shows what’s in my unconscious,
and my photographing what my unconscious loves.

I paint without a subject,
but to photograph, a subject is needed.

Then I must transcend the visible
and reveal the Underlying,
as in my painting.

Inspiration is from God
to the Soul,
Aspiration is from the Soul
to God.

Creativity
is God to God.

“To see a World in a Grain of Sand.” 
— Blake

To, hopefully, see a Heaven in every Photo.
— Diamond

If I were thought
to be a Zen master,
my paintings would be
eagerly sought.

But I’m only me –
not even master
of myself.

Aspiration, communion with God, arises as Creativity from the Muse, the God within.

Creativity – capitalized –
is always altruistic.
