I'm in the process of a move again. Starting to feel like a bit of a gypsy. Like I'm liking the moves. 

This was a flower from my sons back yard. The grandkids love to see paintings I've done from things they are familiar with and know.

I enjoyed this piece so much I may do it again. I'm definitely going to do a little series of florals.

Fear & Faith

Light & Dark

Inspired by a FaceBook post by Cheryl Graham. I set about expressing my vision of this (Fear & Faith). And once again, I visited a cemetery finding the inspiration for Fear from a headstone. As was once found in my painting Angel of Grief.

The image of Faith & Light was another story. In so many meditations we envision the light coming in through our crown chakra - washing and bathing us in a white light. Exploring how I might express this I was also very much experiencing the loss of my father-in-law of 20 years, Henry Beyer. Also in the same time frame we as a nation experienced the gruesome loss of 20 children and six adults in a massacre.

Wanting to express a faith as we move through this huge loss as a nation as well as our own private losses we encounter in a lifetime I incorporated it in the painting of Light/Faith as love. Spirit Orbs of love flowing into light that they see and know.

And then finally mounting both pieces into a 3/D piece.

Verdad

Somewhere the soul must stand naked to the Truth

If the artist suppressed all spiritual emotion, he would never be a great artist. In art, we call this emotion temperament; in oratory, we call it inspiration; and in purely spiritual things, we call it Illumination. Somewhere the soul must stand naked to the Truth, if it is to receive It in all Its fullness. There must be an outlet as well as an inlet, if there is to be a continual flow. “Quench not the Spirit,” but let the intellect decide to what the emotions are to respond. This is the secret of a well-balanced life.

            “Prove all things, hold fast to that which is good.” We are not to be afraid of strange ideas or doctrines, but are to prove them and accept only that which is true. We are to analyze, dissect and investigate until we know the Truth and then hold fast to It. In this way, all advance must come, whether in science, philosophy, religion or anything else.

Truth

The truth shall set us free. No longer having to remember secrets or lies, keeping the story straight.

Lets go further and investigate the truth on a deeper spiritual level.

“Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

(Romans 12:2)

Could this mean a conscious thought that pours truth into the channels of creative energy, renewing the body and healing the mind. Releasing old ideas and concepts of disease and failure. Replacing them with liberty, freedom, health, harmony and success. Knowing the body heals as the inner mind transforms. False images are renewed by images of the truth.

Is it the ego sitting on our shoulder feeding us lies of not being good enough? That keeps us sheltered in a false sense of fear. Be afraid very afraid.

Afraid of living a life of love, seeing light and love in everyone and everything? How can that be scary? Living the life you have always dreamed of? How can this be the truth for those who live surrounded by war, famine and disease?

We see this truth in the remarkable film starring Roberto Benigni who accomplishes the impossible in this World War II comedy ~ Life is Beautiful. Ahaunting comedy is shaped out of the tragedy of the Holocaust. A Jewish man with a wonderful romantic sense of humor uses this same truth to protect his son in a Nazi death camp.

And so you see our minds are very powerful ~ capable of creating a reality of our choosing. Does that also mean we are creating a false sense of reality?

Oh dear God

~ lets just say ~

to thine own self be true.
