Brother Sun

Where does the wind go? Where does the sun hide? Where is my homeland? Where am I going? The ancients pondered the riddles of life. They knew more of the earth, sun, moon and stars than some today. Living in balance. Working to live rather than living to work. They knew that there is not much value in needless material things. The useless can slow down the nomad and enslave them where they stand. They knew that you cannot free the slave if they love their chains. Are we different than those ancients or are we brothers to the Sun and sisters to the Moon? Are we? Only we can answer that for ourselves. Quo vadis! visionary imagist "Joey"

working to live are wonderful words! We can only live in balance when the big breath is streaming free through us! We Can do Nothing by ourselves! A super painting with deep insight! We are all in One.

Artist Reply: Annette: I continue to travel the road less travelled. Yet, I still find many friends who travel the road with me. I believe that you are on that road too. Your companionship is comforting. Thank you my pilgrim friend.
