At Best


After some time,
age-old and seemingly wise,
you begin to understand
that life is a series of
fractured experiences,
with the ongoing goal
of achieving excellent purchase,
unachievable by any means,
all the failed re-approximations
and festering wounds,
proof-positive that
too much time is being spent
on hopes broken beyond
all recognition of dreams.

"Problem Solving" and was painted by Samuel Bak in 1998.

Brilliant observation, incisive philosophical conclusion. This is top-flight work! VERY well done!

Mani de Li ... just happened upon it with my new high-speed internet, and would like to have something like this commissioned to be painted on the inside of my skull.
