Participating Joyfully in a Sorrowful World

"I lived for hundreds of thousands of years as a mineral and then I died and was reborn as a plant. I lived for hundreds of thousands of years as a plant and then I died and was reborn as an animal. I lived for hundreds of thousands of years as an animal and then I died and was reborn as a human. Whatever have I lost by dying". "Robert Bly"---------------------- The true measure of our lives is not our success but rather our faith. Creator always help me to remember that I am an Easter Sunday pilgrim living in a Good Friday world. And that no matter what may happen to me You will always be by my side. Even if I know nothing about it. You will never leave me to face my troubles alone because You are my Father and I am your child. I need not fear for You are ever with me, until the end of time. visionary imagist "Joey"

Wonderfully evocative image (and a very nice blue sky)! May I ask if you used the Borobudur Temple in Java as a reference when you painted?

Artist Reply: Thank you for the nice comments. This was painted from a vision dream that I had.

A beautiful piece Joey...the words so fitting for it. Despite the unrest depicted in the painting you still come away with such peace to look at at. Wonderful work!!

Artist Reply: Laurie: Your words inspire me. Thank you!! I am also glad that you enjoyed the accompanying prose. Bly's words are poignant and poetic, mine are just the meanderings of my restless spirit seeking refuge in my art. Again thanks!!
