How to Paint Sink into the thing you see Till it becomes a part of thee Then search the length and breath of it It’s inner core its sense of fit. Breathe it’s very dense of breath Feel its awe and sense of death Blend into its ring and chime How it deals its part in time. Grow with it till full in grace Take its stand in common place. Nourish on the inner glow Reap the essence you must know. Live with it a one on one Stay with it till you are done. Then you take a brush in faint and Paint and paint and paint and paint Till you reach its spirits goal Then you have painted its soul. |

"Live with it a one on one Stay with it till you are done. Then you take a brush in faint and Paint and paint and paint and paint Till you reach its spirits goal Then you have painted its soul." (smiles) Oh Seymour, I just love how you paint words, this is beautiful, may we all become accustomed to what makes us happy and paint ourselves and render us in the colors! (smiles) I love this, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I usually just hire someone...and I've never seen them go to these extremes however. I think I'll just get vinyl siding this time around though.....Sy, you are truly a wise old fart with a mind that's "way out there" somewhere..... |

Seymour~ 'Live with it a one on one Stay with it till you are done. Then you take a brush in faint and Paint and paint and paint and paint' I tried that ... I ran out of numbers ! You not only 'paint' ... you've perfected word-art~ Love n' hugs~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

It is easy when the canvas is life. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |

"Till you reach its spirits goal Then you have painted its soul." Ah my friend but I have seen your work, and it is hard tell whose soul was painted, as I see a part of yours in my scribblings The most valuable thing you own is a smile, wear it, and share it. |
