Power in Shared Light
|
|
This series of art contained in this book "awake" is about discovering more of the best that is within us and the world around us through God's light.
When the world starts to feel dark or threatening, it is more important than ever to reach for the light, to stretch ourselves, our capacities and our dreams of what is possible. While it can be tempting, at such times, to pull the covers over our heads and say, "Wake me up when it's all over!", it is in these very times of upheaval and change that we are all given the greatest opportunity to make a difference. |

A Community of Creation
|
|
As an artist, I love the emotions and inspirations that arrive with each piece as it comes to life. My favorite part though, is hearing the responses of those who were moved in some way by these creations.
Art is amazing that way. I have my own ideas of what I hope to express. Yet for each person who sees it, there are insights and expressions that shine through unique to that individual's life and experience.
This book is, in many ways, a tribute to this community, people who have begun to discover their own inner-creators and the power each of us have to share and shine light in the lives of those around us. My hope is that having these pieces, poems and stories in tangible form will serve as a springboard to continue pursuing those dreams and the creative power for good inherent in each of us as children of the great Creator. Carpe Diem! sub specie Aeternitatis |

Awake There are tales that just draw us in on fable's storied wings beckoning to world's beyond to seek the truth of things There's paths which followed lead to light though long the waited time the spring found at the tunnel's end the dance, is worth the climb There's other tales of treasures found the explorer's inmost spark the song of freedom ringing clear the call, the choice, embark But greatest of all stories told 'tis that we write each day the mountains moved with heaven's help to lift and longing pray The stretching of the soul to sky the faith to leap...begin to spin with storms and trust in grace there's royal light within Still stirringest of odes unsung are those you yet shall make for in the throes of life's great dreams we come most full awake |
