Description 2015 mixed media  on Fabriano paper

From Wikipedia:
Eternal return (also known as eternal recurrence) is a theory that the universe and all existence and energy has been recurring, and will continue to recur, in a self-similar form an infinite number of times across infinite time or space. The theory is found in Indian philosophy and in ancient Egypt as well as Judaic wisdom literature (Ecclesiastes) and was subsequently taken up by the Pythagoreans and Stoics. With the decline of antiquity and the spread of Christianity, the theory largely fell into disuse in the Western world, with the exception of 19th Century philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who connected the thought to many of his other concepts, including amor fati. Eternal return relates to the philosophy of predeterminism in that people are predestined to continue repeating the same events over and over again.

Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, the most intricate analysis, and I'm in my proper atmosphere. Then I can dispense with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence and existence, is mundane to me but if i witnessed an event such as this image somewhere out there in the vast coldness of the universe, i'd be content for eternity.....i'm being very philosophical tonight Wayne sorry...beautiful art brings this out in me.

That's why I can't dismiss the second coming of Christ. What goes around, comes around. The same applies to Niburu. The universe is a spiral, not a straight line. Please don't apologize for bring philosophical. I'm in that condition 24 hours a day. That's the only way I can combat the dull routine of existence. That, and artificial stimulants. It's México.  What can I say? We're all philosophers here...

After a couple of beers, everyone here is a philosopher! It may even be a worldwide truth...

As a Christian, you should take heart that the eternal return includes the return of Jesus Christ.
