mourning is natural... and it helps keep the lost ones alive in our hearts. I will be mourning, reflecting and even going for a walk over to a tree I call "Johnny's Tree". Johnny was only in our life for a year, he came to stay with us so he could be close to his daughter. His X moved from Chicago to the Denver area to start a new life - after Johnny discovered when she was, he came to us. He was 37 - and had never signed a lease... he never took his X to court for visitation rights. He did both with our guidance. Come Dec. 16th it will be two years since his passing. He was my Wife's Cousin and he very much felt like Family to me. I miss him. so, ya see, I will always have a sense of mourning just before Christmas, but that's ok... I like keeping Johnny's spirit alive in my heart. as for your art, I'd title it: "A Wild Journey Into The Beyond"

very nice work rick,may your season be joyful and filled with warmness in your heart

We all handle and deal with what life deals us in our own way and though i find your message to be heart felt and comforting i would be doing an injustice to those i have lost over the years to not remember them in my own special way but don't go to the point of letting it interfere with those that are still amongst the living... Your latest work is so full of the colors of the season that it brought a smile to my face and i Thank You for that Rick....(Smiles)...

Its a wonderful life but filled with so much sadness and tragedy I think all you can do is look forward to a time when all sadness and tears will be gone nicely worked image rick!!

Beautiful image and colors, Rick. Corrie

beautiful work and fine words. joy yes but i can feel no joy when i have to imagine all the fat suckesr sitting on their table with the golden spoons up thier ass,just figuring out how they can screw us even more once the holidays are gone by. yes and keep the memories alive.ute and me had some very heavy losses and we try to cope although i am mostly grinchy and indifferent about xmas. i try to be a good person all year long (and i fail often) not only for xmas.

S P L E N D I D creation and EXCELLENT for the mind !!!

Nice work and holiday colors. Good words. Merry Christmas. :o)

Very nice fractal image.

I love your fractal, as I love the intention of your title and words, dear Rick. The colors are perfect for this dedication. I'm sure of the love that God has for all His children. A love bigger then we can imagine. I am also sure that God weeps with us, about all sorrow and suffering here on earth.

what a wonderful message and a heartfelt dedication. you have a big heart, thanks for sharing that with us. I wish you peace in this blessed season.

Wonderful work, and wonderful words! Happy Holidays to you and yours, Rick! :-D
