Nascent Earthrise

Everything has a beginning and everything will end. Even the ground on which we stand today will one day be no longer. But in a universe of rebirths nothing, not the smallest particle, is wasted. Rebirth is the order of the cosmos. Birth, death and infinity are interconnected, intertwined through the thread of life. Humans though, through the power of reason, are the only creatures that know that someday they will die. But death is just a physicality, and a physicality is just a preoccupation of one's body, one's needs and one's appetites. Death is physical, as it were, but not the end of existence. Yes, death is just a way station. No, there is more, more to life than just body. There is soul. And the soul is indestructible, never ceases and never dies. Yet, it is impossible to comprehend the Infinite by using a finite mind. One has to employ different means to help ponder such profundities. Mystics know this, and mystics travel those realms well but in those realms mere words become useless. And that is where the power of art shines the brightest. Art can smash the barrier that prevents us from knowing that we need not worry for we are soul itself, and soul is indestructible. visionary imagist "Joey"

You are fantastic my friend and oh boy do sound like someone very precious to me. I love the beauty of your words which come from your heart and the language of mystics is well known to me and to my loved one. Welcome, friend, to the world where we live, the world of the soul.....God bless

Artist Reply: Tahnja: Your words encourage me to attempt to fulfill the calling I feel inside of me. Art endures. Art heals. Art speaks when words are not even spoken. The language of God comes to me in silence. Again thank you and continued success!!

No one can write those words as good to this marvellous painting as you did, Joey! The right words!! Your vision is true and lot of us know this too, so happy for that! World awakening through art!

Artist Reply: Annette: I look forward to hearing your comments. I have just figured out how to post my words about my paintings. So I have to go back and fill out the words to the paintings that have none. I am glad that you enjoy my art and prose. Again thanks!!

Gwen Lewis 08 Jul 2007

This painting is absolutely wonderful, but then so are your words which are so very true, though many today seem to have lost that understanding; probably the last poeples to comprehend were the maoris. :) Gwen.

Artist Reply: Gwen: Thank you for your inciteful and caring words. They give me pause to reflect and think how wonderful it is to connect with fellow artist's far away in kilometers, yet close in spirit. Again thanks!!
