"THE LONGER YOU STAND IN FRONT OF ANY OF
HIS CREATIONS, THE MORE YOU ARE DRAWN IN
TO HIS WORLD. A SENSE OF ENLIGHTENMENT
IS EXPERIENCED AS TIME SEEMS TO STAND
STILL AND YOU ARE TAKEN TO A PLACE ONLY
HE COULD DESCRIBE. YOU HAVE STARTED A
JOURNEY AND ESTABLISHED A NEW STYLE
OF ART FOR ALL OF OUR YOUTH. CHI MEEGWIITCH
FOR EVERYTHING AND YOUR LEGACY!"
