Commonplaces never become tiresome. It is we who become tired when we cease to be curious and appreciative.

The view of life I communicate in my pictures excludes the sordid and ugly. I paint life as I would like it to be.

Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) was an American artist and illustrator.  His works were published in magazines, advertisements, covers, calendars, and so much more.  He accurately displayed the essence of American life.

Yesterday Forgotten

Traveling in darkness

Every winding road

Always going uphill

Bearing heavy loads

 

Filling with emptiness

Sadness ruptures heart

Simply seeking healing

Searching for fresh start

 

Collecting memories

Hope sheds one more tear

Often feeling numbness

Overwhelming fears

 

Witnessing tomorrow

Been here once before

Every step well-traveled

Waiting at backdoor

 

Envisioning sunrise

Source of everything

Yesterday forgotten

Knowing peace shall sing

We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.

If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.

H. G. (Herbert George) Wells (1866-1946) was a British novelist, journalist, and historian.  Many of his published works share a futuristic view, and this has earned him the distinction of being the “father of science fiction.”
