New Stuff.
I'm posting The Waves but it is not successful and will be featured in the Collaborative Critique Community I joined in Australia as needing a lot of help. I look forward to improving it then I'll post again when corrected.

I guess I have ignored this page for a year at least. Come over to Beth Berman and see some of my newer pieces. I also do wonderful animal portraits

What's on my mind today you ask. These two quotes

First is a Turkish proverb:

“The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them.”

Then this famous quote from a German Protestant Minister:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemöller
