Can you forgive me Fabio? I think if we are doing anything serious we are dealing with death. One of the russians harshest terms for inadequate is "not serious", I believe that is about where I am in my art. You seem able to match so many human experiences in your work, it is the most serious work I have found in a looong time. I have taken on this project but can not complete it yet. Young Lachlan has gone, so I needn't worry about him any more, it is more my friends who are left behind that I should be concerned for, not my art. Suddenly, Fabio, I am in a serious situation, and Buddhism has been able to ring true about my experience thus far in my life, but the concepts of death and rebirth have always been the only observations I have put aside. I have dealt with the grief of others only, not death. Yours words ring true, and are useful. I am tempted to leave the series there as testament to my own stupidity. Stupid is real and where I am at, and I am generally not not afraid to be stupid. But this is serious stuff is it not, and I can't even afford such doodles to do so. Spiritually and artistically I am not ready to deal with it and don't want to misrepresent it. It is o.k. to be stupid but not about this. Thanks for being here Fabio.
