On English
English usage is sometimes more than mere taste, judgment, and education -- sometimes it's sheer luck, like getting across the street.

On Wandering
All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost.
~ J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
On Returning
You may wonder, 'How can I leave it all behind if I am just coming back to it? How can I make a new beginning if I simply return to the old?' The answer lies in the return. You will not come back to the "same old thing". What you return to has changed because you have changed. Your perceptions will be altered. You will not incorporate into the same body, status, or world you left behind. The river has been flowing while you were gone. Now it does not look like the same river.
~ Steven Foster, The Book of the Vision Quest

I love the colours and the textured look to this painting. This is very interesting and you are very creative! It looks like you have melded two painting styles, one from the East and one from Europe or the West to create this painting.
Interesting!
