Mural and Verses by Dr Abe V Rotor

 “When the sun is in its zenith, half the day is gone, half of the work done, half of life's stirrings over, yet the joy of living, its challenges and rewards are whole,  you are blessed.” avr

“It's collective memory that I'm a part
to write my life's story when I depart.” avr

 

  “In abstract art you lose reality,
but how then can I paint truth and beauty? - avr

  

 

 “Convenience is like wings gliding on the wind’s will;

It is also not taking off until the wind is still.”

  

 “Walk, don't run, to see better and to know

the countryside, Mother Nature and Thou.”

“Only good wine becomes mellow with age.” avr

(18^th Century Basi Wine Cellar) ~

Janette and Lolo  Delfin Inigo

"Bring home the birds and stream
to make my home cool and green,
and grow trees, ferns and flowers
        on the wall like living screen." avr

Lend beauty to the arts,
in painting, verse and song,
in solace and meditation
from the maddening throng. ~
