Thom WoodruffBiographyONE NIGHT ? ALL LIFE!Remembrance as ritual-repeating wisdomleft in lines from those departed Living reminding us how temporary our passports Transience as science/learning as path Opening art to heart as well as will These footsteps lead until they must follow Your actions example.Watching,waiting,witnessing learning via accretion.Each gifted moment winged by whispers ,smiles, sharing .Things wait for people to be their best dream.All possible in these songlines Alignment with and for,despite stormclouds-bright beamings It is your dream within will save you-that sunlit garden requiring your own hand applied to grow from seed to sower Harvests await your applied investments-interest is creative Time is energy .Visions know.Actions given/taken to heart What world you make you must live within you as well These are stories you will tell your children Life does not wait for perfection.Dive in! Salvaging possibilities is your best career option There are "unknown knowns and known unknowns" Better to be a verb than a noun.Better to be than to defer/delay/demur/debate.Why wait? This night is all your life. MANY DREAMS MUST THRIVE!

Durer and Holbein and Hunterwasser and Brueghal- he absorbs and emanates like sun and moon and stars all points of light in these dark space times to show where the glow goes-we follow SNAP! and you are smile flash frozen in his lines which he Zen hands back to you for another image -in another time..
