My new favourite book, my new favourite movie: CLOUD ATLAS. The three score & ten of our years here seems so limited.... like reading just one novel then calling it quits. I am not so sure I believe in re-incarnation but I am attracted to the idea of transfiguration. When I fell in love with my beautiful wife Katmandu I knew for certain that I knew her very, very well. Have you ever fallen in love? You will agree with me it is not the meeting of strangers but the recognition of long lost friends... travelling companions. I took one look into Kat's eyes. The world disappeared. This was my first ever painting. I painted Persephone going into the Underworld. Of course my model was Kathleen. Those are her Tiger-green eyes. Fearless, she left her family... her mother... journeyed to the dream world of love seeking Hades the God of the Underworld. Guess who she found... Moi! That does not make me the King of the Underworld. But I do know it was me she was looking for.
