Driven

  
      Colors of sunsets 
        Artists cannot match

      Yet we try anyway
         ~ our itch to scratch

we don't possess God's palette -- which makes writing poetry tough :-)

Yes. But within the limits of whatever measure talent we're given, let us do our best to walk in His ways. What else can we say? ~ Gershon

Finding just the right paint isn’t easy…it’s new every day! Happy Hanukkah!

Paint is new; and we're getting old. Oh, well... Thanks for the Hanukah wishes, Kim. Seasons' Best, Gershon

If we try to outshine God, we will always be disappointed. We celebrate our striving...the frustration we share. Admire the other's attempt to bridge the Divine Gap. As long as we think that God does not need our input, to manage creation, separate ourselves from God's everyday process...we will have inferiority complexes.
