A Few Thoughts About Nature
"I live on an island in the middle of the Ocean. Living here has made me realize how vulnerable and unimportant I truly am. When my body dies, there will be no trace of me in the history of Nature. I am the only person who can give value to my years on the Earth, who can give a purpose to my existence. I’m so grateful that I have had the strength of spirit to continue to paint about the beauty, the joy and the love that surrounds me. I´m so grateful that my strength of spirit has kept me a human being, fighting for all that I believe a human being should be. I have made my life valuable, even though I know that Nothingness lies at the end of it. It comes as a great comfort to know that I leave traces of love and no traces of destruction behind me. It means nothing to the Earth, but it does mean everything to me."
