My Art: ‘Legacy Of The Blue Lotus”

A giant ship’s engine broke down, and no one was able to fix it. So they called in a veteran mechanical engineer with over 30 years of experience. The engineer examined the engine carefully, moving between its parts. Moments later, he took a small hammer from his bag and gently tapped on a specific spot. Suddenly, the engine sprang back to life! A week later, the engineer sent a bill for $20,000 to the ship’s owner. The owner was astonished and said, “$20,000 for a hammer strike?! We want a detailed bill!” The engineer smiled and sent the explanation:
Hammer strikes: $2
Knowing where to strike and how to strike: $19,998
Experience isn’t measured by the time it takes to do a job, but by the years you’ve spent mastering it.
“If I complete a job in 30 minutes, it’s because I spent 20 years learning how to do it that fast. You pay for the knowledge, not the minutes.”

As an artist and creator, my value isn’t found in the visible strokes of my brush or the hours I pour into my craft, but in the hidden depths of my imagination and the unwavering dedication to mastery that shapes who I am. Like the seasoned engineer, I carry a lifetime of hard-earned skill into all I attempt to make happen.
The blue lotus, a symbol of renewal, inspires my work to embody love, affirmations, and hope. Each piece I create is the fruit of years spent sharpening my craft, drawing inspiration from the world, and boldly transforming the intangible into something real. My worth isn’t tied to the time it takes to finish a something, but to the vision, passion, and expertise I weave into it—qualities that, though unseen, will radiate brightly in the legacy of kindness and awareness I aim to leave behind.

My eternal mission and dreams include honoring my brother’s memory, a veteran and civil engineer, a father who crossed seas to save an orphaned child he adopted —
A man whose influence guides my path, to complete my books, including a significant work on my life by Tony Moore, and all the books I labor on daily, pouring my heart into every word.
I dream of creating a movie to spread awareness to the masses—not for fame, as I will not appear in the film, but to shine light on vital truths in his honor and for the greater good. This is my life’s story. This movie will help garner the funding to fulfill my dreams: to own a home at last where my children can visit or live comfortably when needed, to build a legacy for them and my brand-new grandchildren, to be reunited with my beloved service dog, Blossom of Snow, whose absence causes me deep pain, and to establish a nonprofit foundation to support veterans, federal whistleblowers like myself who have stood up, children, including TLC, my namesake in Africa, and more orphans. Any proceeds from the movie, should I live long enough to see them, will fuel this foundation, weaving kindness and empowerment into the fabric of the world. The assaults on my life have been relentless, yet I hold fast to this truth, trusting my unseen efforts will one day bear fruit, just as the engineer’s gentle tap revived the ship.

Please keep me in your prayers as I walk this path, praying for the strength, time, and healing to see these dreams fulfilled, as the most recent assault has left me very ill. If I should pass before I see to these dreams, please remember me, complete them, and watch over my loved ones—a plea to the universe for kindness.
