Contrary to the notion a few of my biker buddies have, my love machines have little to do with their desire to "get lucky". True enough, Love in the romantic sense is a part of what I have in mind when I build these machines but to focus on that is to miss the point.
The "love" I have in mind is about loving the fact that the sun comes up in the morning, that somehow and some way rain falls out of the sky, that gravity keeps us all from floating off into space. It is about loving your life, your family, the things you eat and drink, the place you are and the places you are going, your neighbors and all the good people you have never or will ever meet. It's about the lady in front of you in the check out fumbling with her coupons, the folks you encounter each day that are struggling to get through a tough day. The truth is Love does make the world go round.......how or why that happens is beyond my understanding. How fortunate that our lack of understanding does not change anything but our perception of what is happening.
Years ago I was taught the things that get your attention grow stronger in your life. So when I build one of my "Love Machines" I focus on the positive aspects of life, the lessons learned from my mistakes, and the love I have for the absolute correctness of it all. If viewing one of my pieces causes one to have a thought in that direction it is "mission accomplished".
So, as my good friend Timmy often says......."if you want to feel good......do good."
