Common Ground

Vatican Museum Painting

There are beautiful places in the world of all sorts, even in nooks and cracks. In the landscape there are hidden gems hard to imagine for one unknowing of their existence.

In just a short hike over a hill there is wildly captivating grandness, incomprehensible contrasts in form, infinite degrees of darkness and light, colors unseen in depths of endless fields,

created by a God or by a man whose great love made available this exclusive design_ one's uniquely personal call/gift to the other. This is the only art,

it is the knowledge that was absent in beginnings apart, appreciated mostly by the architect himself,
but only because he endured to know,
Half Dome, Yosemite
suffered to see past the vast dark emptiness where the beauty now lives.


We must learn to connect to the unfamiliar, though one is so unknowing of, or far from the other. Learn to associate, assemble those parts/people that allow freedom to understand indifference. This requires a high regard for continued education throughout one's life. It is the destiny of good men to promote the peace that resides in knowledge. It is the truth that winsthat lives.
