Letter
To Those Who Take Life
The
measure, treasure, pleasure of existence’ meaning.
Those who take life too grow older,
Too regret if they are wise,
Realising one day everybody dies,
Including they themselves.

Birth
and death
and all between,
One meaning being to prolong
One’s own and creatures weak and strong;
To NOT take but care for each form,
Our fellow humans the first norm.

What
comes thereafter to be seen,
The how, when to be left for then;
Is ever speculation.

Is
to see and cherish every blemish,
Not diminishing the self or others.

All
you need to make life better
Is this creed and poem, a letter
Aimed at those who dare
take life.

Autopsy of the Soul -- Vincent Castiglia
American artist Vincent Castiglia paints exclusively in human blood (iron oxide) and water on paper. "I sought the most direct and personal connection with my work, one that could not lie or be reproduced," he explained. "Although the paintings are often thematic, they are also quite visceral, and I believe it is because of this that the response has been so strong. The creative process is very honest and cathartic for me, and is an intermingling of feelings and experiences, aspirations and visions, all spontaneously congealing on the canvas."
