Art Gallery: Psalm One

Whenever I find that there are difficult times with others around me. I turn to the Psalms for inspiration and hope. They have gotten me through the hardest times.

Happy is the person who avoids the counsel of the wicked. They are like a strong tree planted next to the waters edge. Whatever he touches shall prosper and thrive.

The wicked are not according to a fundamentalist interpretation. I think it means people who are fragmented and are on a bad voyage. Who would go up to a person that is drunk, and ask for advice? Certainly not I. That persons logic will be hampered by his own negative bias. I could never rely on an answer from someone whose very brain chemistry is being changed. That is just one example.

Do we never help those type of people? Heaven forbid it, we should help whenever we can. But avoid helping those who don't want to be helped. You will only end up frustrated in your efforts.

Happy is the person who doesn't follow the advice of fragmented people. They are not centered and so they are an unreliable source. Who would allow a thief to talk them into going into a bank with them and rob it?


The painting is around three feet wide. I used acrylic paint for the work. I used yellow to represent the sun. It is Leo's "planet." I think the project took around  fifteen hours.
