Seeing , and experiencing in my early years, the herd mentallity of the human species, and being run over by it most of my life, have become a devout non conformist. Hitler and cohorts, Stalin, nationalisms, Eisenhauer, Churchill,formed my surroundings, their anger,their judgements,their omnivicence controlled my life, those of my loved ones and millions of others. I object to be either subject or object to the norm, that society deems necessary or acceptable and only under protest or in agreement feel the need to be included if that choice is mine. I feel a strong bond to those induviduals that defy the norm, and walk their own path,ex. Gandhi, St. Francis, Jesus, the Budda, etc. The underdog, the downtrodden, forment my passion, and I am especially passionate about those that cannot speak for themselves, animals, and humans in bondage. I express my feelings best and with conviction when stirred by injustice. I am an amateur poet, and writer, a painter, and believer in many things on intuition, a believer in hard facts only if seasoned with enaugh humility of the unknown, and I shall always remain an amateur.
