Moss Creek Journal: crossraods district

IT WAS A YELO CAR. A BRIGHT YELO CAR. SEVERAL OF THEM. AS THEY PASSED BY, I COUNTED THEM. THEN AN IMPRESSION CAME - I WAS NOT ALONE. THAT I WOULD FIND MY DESTINATION. AND I DID. BUT IT WAS THE LARGE "K" ON THE SIDE OF THE RED BARN WITH THE WHITE CIRCLE AROUND IT THAT MADE ME CRY. MY FIRST NAME STARTS WITH A "K." AS WE PULLED INTO OHIO THERE WERE THREE OVERPASSES WE DROVE UNDER. NOT A RUSTY BROWN OR DINGY GREY. ALL THREE WERE BRIGHT CANARY "IN-YOUR-FACE" YELLOW!!! THREE IS MY FAVORITE NUMBER. HOW TO EXPLAIN IT. FOR ME, IT WAS A PRESENCE BESIDE ME, REMINDING ME I WAS BEING THOUGHT OF, I WAS NOT ALONE. OFTEN ABSENT FROM MY THINKING, SURPRISES COME. MY ANXIOUSNESS IS TAKEN AWAY. CALM SETTLES IN WHEN HIS KINDNESS COMES. karl marxhausen

Welcome. In retirement my art shows up as words typed on the page. The world of Harry Alfred Fowler fascinates me. My town is a rural farm community. Fowler worked in Kansas City. He brought art folks together. I've been pursuing discovery since 2011. Like Fowler I am gleaning from many sources to share the delightful nuggets that appeal to me. I too have organized, self-published, done art, learned, tried it out. New ground, new discoveries, these fuel my dreams. A book of my own with drawings. In the meantime there are dishes to wash and daily routines to follow. Thanks to friends around the globe who have been a resource to me. History ties a name to a place and a time and then is published and used by the rest.

"SOUNDS LIKE GOD HAS BLESSED YOU WITH YOUR ART. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION TO MANY!!" SANDY QUICK, KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI

"MAKES PERFECT SENSE TO ME, KARL. I UNDERSTAND THE PRIORITIES OF KIDS. YOUR DAD WAS JUST A "REGULAR DAD" EXCEPT THAT HE TOUCHED A LOT OF PEOPLE'S LIVES, AND THAT MADE HIM EXTRAORDINARY!!!" MATTHEW G. HANSEN, LINCOLN CAPITOL PRESERVATION ARCHITECT

"ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR BLOG, KARL --- YOUR FUN STORIES, CREATIVE WORKS, AND PHILOSOPHIES ON LIFE!! THANKS!" LOIS MEYER VOELTZ

About Me

grappling with the neurons in consciousness

"KARL PAINTS WITH STRONG STROKES - SOMETIMES ALMOST SLASHES. HE SAYS IT ALL, FEARLESSLY, IN A FEW WELL CHOSEN WORDS FROM HIS PALETTE. HIS SUBJECTS ARE SIMPLE EVERYDAY THINGS THAT HOLD THE GREAT PLEASURES."
PHIL CHADWICK, PAINTER, ONTARIO
