Finish – “Fin” is the Latin word for “end”… “ish” is used to indicate a “sort of” or “about” condition. “I’ll meet you around noonish for the moon launch.”

Every now and then, I feel like I’m “finished” with Ed’s Art Net. Artists like to “fin” their work. But I’m not sure this project has an “end” until I pass.

Whenever I think I’m at the fin, something always comes up-ish.

Every day starts something new. Below is a favorite song from my past, present & future. It’s about the uplifting and cleansing inspiration of “new”… even if it’s just rearranging things.

Sometimes I find a paragraph that needs to be moved from one post to another or else just simply edited for a better read or I may even add something new. My goal is to make my Maker glad instead of sad like I’ve done so many times before.

Expounding

Below I explain my artists poem from the Art page for the benefit of anyone who would like an explanation. Our art is whatever God gives us to do that uplifts others and ourselves in love… Maybe it’s simply being a good neighbor. ❤️

Artists

art, words and music awaken the senses
(inspired works can help us feel good or bad)

composing mood reflections from life’s reasoned fences
(we each have unique perspectives so reactions can vary)

encoded skill and mind is the foundry
(everyone has gifts to share)

beyond the grip of night’s emotional boundary
(anxiety and depression can stifle inspiration)

Love works when nothing else does

In Closing…

Building this website has been a rewarding experience akin to meeting a stranger and not knowing what to expect. Then after a lengthy exchange becoming great friends!

Katie, my youngest, asked me a while back to write something about myself for her in a “dad” book to have for posterity. I hope this website does a better job than I did in my little book.

🥰

Credits

Special thanks to my Susan’s without whom I would be lost in space.

Thanks to my family and friends for their help, life lessons, love, and patient understanding.

Most of all, thanks to God, who deserves ALL the credit for EVERYTHING!

We are God made and man kind.

God says I’m obeying, that I’m doing a good job ignoring Satan’s tactical “whispering”, and that I’m helping illuminate the “shadow”.
God says, “I love you”, when I’m quietly listening.
