painter-karpisek	Reply here Reply on painter-karpisek's board Reply privately to painter-karpisek Posted on: 15th Apr 2007 13:32 Thank you Aarts, trying to live here and now is sometimes difficult - thinking about someone...mind sticking to suffering...but after some time dedicated to full activity it comes clearer again. Meaning of this quote is also a reason why I decided to terminate my internet submissions and paid shops. I will save money to buy some garden and paint more rather than sit and hit the keyboard. Regards, Jan
