Dear Mary,

Three paintings:

MAP - I'm Harry Potter, Jesus with a paintbrush, the brother from another planet.

I've grown up understanding the reality of another dimension, and it is as real and dependable as gravity. It's working in everyone's lives, and always has been. They just don't see it for what it is. They need a map to show them where we've been and where we are, so as to make better decisions as to where we want to go from here.

SOLACE - Don't you think that, what people want more than anything right now, is to be comforted? To feel safe? Secure? Protected? Loved?

RED, WHITE & BLUE - Here and now. The flags are everywhere. We find our way out of this, or the world could die. We stand at the center. We lead.

I did those paintings last summer. The cards were printed well before September 11th. That said, if I had them to do over again, I can't think of three more appropriate images.

I have a very special kind of muse.

Read the Essays, and everything on this website.

Then meet me.

That's all I ask, and I only ask that out of respect for my own inspirations. I frankly have no idea who you are.

That said, it would be an honor to meet you.

I really respect my inspirations.

Thus far, they always seem to be right.

 

Sincerely,
Tim Folzenlogen
