Mary Daggers

Aahhhhh, emotional turmoil!!!!!!This painting haunts me, it started off as a fun, airy fairy abstract but evolved into this piece that depicts my conflict with religion in general and the Catholic church in particular. Raised a good Catholic girl i find myself questioning my faith, my foundation. The daily reports of the Vatican defending corrupt clergy who do despicable things to children has caused internal queasiness that only a soul searching venture can ease. Some love it, some hate it but to me Mary Daggers poses many questions about moi!

NINE MILLION BICYCLES- Katie Melua

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing.That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny .Like the fact that I will love you till I die.

We are twelve billion light years from the edge,That's a guess,
No-one can ever say it's true, But I know that I will always be with you.


I'm warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don't call me a liar,
Just believe everything that I say

There are six BILLION people in the world. More or less
and it makes me feel quite small. But you're the one I love the most of all

We're high on the wire.With the world in our sight
And I'll never tire,Of the love that you give me every night

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing That's a Fact,
it's a thing we can't deny.Like the fact that I will love you till I die

And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die!
