Can't leave without a story, the pic below accompanied my little, short, short story which appeared on the Saatchi Online magazine and headlined it for a whole day, must say something about desperation for content, but nevertheless, the title of the story was "A confession from the heart" and here it is:
It was just a couple of days ago I finished the pic below and as always I posted it to my account on Flickr (www.flickr.com/bobrafto) whereupon it attracted some views and comments and I would like to share this little exchange on my pic.

I painted the main critter and decided she was lonely and I gave her 2 kids and when I had finished I leant back on the chair to view my masterpiece and then my inner voice said to me "Bob, you're a sick, sick, man!!" " You've painted Moby Dick and his 2 nuts!!"
And I looked again and came to the realization that my inner voice was right and concluded if Freud was alive today, I would undoubtedly be his prize guinea pig.
Cheers/Bob Rafto
And a big thank you to Heather for this one
A female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time.
So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was, walking slowly up to the holy site.
She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she approached him for an interview.
“Pardon me, sir, I’m Rebecca Smith from CNN. What’s your name?
“Morris Fishbien,” he replied.
“Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?”
“For about 60 years.”
“60 years!
That’s amazing! What do you pray for?”
“I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims.” “I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop. ”
“I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults, and to love their fellow man.”
“How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?”
“Like I’m talking to a fu#king brick wall!"
