Quote Gallery: Original Aphorisms & Quotes
As an artist, writer, and creator, I have always been drawn to the combination of words and images.
Long before social media, I collected meaningful quotes, photographs, paintings, passages from books, and small observations about life, keeping them tucked away like treasures to revisit when needed.
I recently began to make a few of my own treasures. Some of these quotes originated in my published books, Two Seconds of Eternity and Poetry Dust. Others are stand-alone reflections inspired by the subjects that most often find their way into my work: time, meaning, consciousness, creativity, love, human nature, and the experience of being alive.
Below you will find a small but growing collection of original quotes, aphorisms, and philosophical reflections paired with imagery and artwork. All are pieces of a larger conversations that continues to unfold in my Philosophical Greenhouse.
 Garden of the Mind"We are the eyes through which creation witnesses itself." |  Architecture of Form“Only here, within form, can singularity be experienced or known at all, for beyond form there can be no division.” |  Connection & the Human Experience"We are each like a grain of sand, thinking we are not the shore." |

 Our Connected lives"Each of us a gear that turns another, even as another turns us." |  Time"I am here now. And no matter when you read this, so are you." |  On Bearing Reality"Everywhere I turn, life breaks my heart. And just when I think I need a stronger one, life rebuilds it no less tender." |
 Love"This much remains: We come from love, and we return to love to a fullness that needs no name, and yet fills all the space of what we are." |  Philosophical Greenhouse"Each of us enters life filled with the earth of a dormant garden, holding within us the seeds of every possibility, and what one waters, grows." |  Seeing the Positive"All the things life has brought to me have been good- except for those that were bad. And I am starting to see the good in those. |
 Hate"The habit of hate is spreading like venom in a polarized world, pushing us to pick sides and label everything. Yet hate is hate, no matter whom you hate. I do not wish for that to fester in me and become one of my life accumulations and habits." |
