"Sunshine" the book and movie (1973)
The true story of Jacquelyn Helton (1951-1971)
"Sunshine" is a rare piece of art. Based on a true story, it contains a ton of emotion. Produced in 1973, I caught it one night on TV and left it in the back of my mind. In 1988 I began to live this story right down to Christina Raines similarity to my wife and the taffy colored cat. The only difference was that our love held us together ...she, and the cat, passed on in 1994. Recently I saw an old battered copy of "Sunshine" and how close this "movie" is to the truth. I highly recommend this filmand book as one of the greatest attempts at understanding the love and sadness in life, what it is like to die, and the legacy it leaves in the heart. It is unfortunate that it is not available on VHS or DVD (Hello, Amazon.com) or shown more on TV. This is the compassionate type of media our society and civilization needs so badly to survive.

As many Iraqi civilians die each MONTH as americans suffered in 4 years of war and once on 9-11-2001.
We have replaced one of many brutal dictators with utter chaos... brilliant!!!
I do not blame President Bush but the puppet masters who schemed for control of oil & power - Chaney, Rove and the gang.
To bad there is not oil in Darfur.

Hello out there

After living on this island "far from the maddening crowd" I have developed a unique view of the world.
Unfortunatly I'm like Van Gogh's house in the snow. That everyone trudges by not knowing what is inside.
I am quite happy far away on my little island with my art and cats...
I have a huge wealth of knowledge locked away which could
change the world but no one listens anymore.
