Alone ?

We are connected to life by a mutual biology. We are connected to the ground upon which we stand by a common chemistry. We are connected to the ever expanding universe by atoms. Everything is connected. Everything is fastened together in a deep eternal bond. Nothing stands apart or alone. Even if it may appear so at times. The deep reality is that we are all brother Sun and sister Moon. All the atoms of our bodies were forged in some long ago forgotten atomic furnace of some former star that exploded and spilled forth our celestial birthrights. Together we have traveled many, many miles and many,many years to find ourselves here sharing this brief and fleeting moment. So as I peer into the night sky and behold the countless bright stars in countless other galaxies I come to intuitively know, admire and appreciate my extraordinary heritage. The shared munificent and generous gift of the Cosmos, a gift from the Creator Spirit, that is given freely to the largest of the large and to the smallest of the small. It is this remarkable legacy that we travel together and we are not alone. visionary imagist "Joey"

Joey, to know and realise how all and everything is connected can give a deep feeling of peace. Only by looking at the cosmos we must understand that we are not alone in space. We are small reflections of a divine power that is beyond our understanding.

I just about fell out of my seat as I read your words. I have been pondering those exact words myself of late and am deeply moved that the Lord has reiterated my thoughts through you my dear, dear friend and brother in Christ. Peace has found me once again and I feel strong and close to God. Thank you, always and forever

In so many ways your post is so insightful with my thoughts, Joey...In more ways that I can explain...And I'll add I saw it many times with more artists, and other people. Sometimes even if we're not alone..we feel alone, I believe that everyone met that feeling...I very much agree - "Everything is connected. " Powerful and most UNIQUE Composition...Your artwork describe so well your title, in such fine way.

Artist Reply: Nira; I really appreciated your comments. they are so thoughtful and filled with insight and wisdom. thank you again.

I like the different angles. It is as if gravity is pulling from someplace other than the land he is standing on. The red planet really creates mystery and suspense-a feeling of change. Very dynamic, wonderful message for the beginning of a year and , as always, beautifully painted.
