The Precipice

36×36 Acrylic and Raw Pigment on Canvas

There are various, potentially perilous circumstances which we face as individuals throughout our lives.

Sometimes we are granted a moment to stand on the edge of these situations and reflect on our options.

At other times, we must simply wait, on the edge, until we fall, get pushed, or get called back into safer territory by fate.

Standing at these precipices, I believe is where we are able to experience that larger part of ourselves which is able to see the smaller part of ourselves looking for the next step on our journey.

The larger part patiently observes, oversees our choices without judgment, and tries to give us as much information as it can about what is beyond the precipice.

The collective of Humanity is presently standing on the precipice of change.

We have the option to look out from this precipice and contemplate our next step in the evolution of our consciousness and our place on this beautiful planet.

We can not know everything that lies beyond this precarious edge where we have come to stand.

But the larger part of us, the part that sees the bigger picture, is watching as we decide where we will go from here.

The moment that we are granted to reflect upon this precipice gradually passes until we will have fewer options about our next step.

New Guardian

New Guardian 36×36 Acrylic and Gold on Canvas

Changing of the guard does not always mean changing of the environment.

A Guardian is sacred but that which he guards is what makes him sacred.

One can hope and believe the words from the mouth of the guardian.

The words are seeds that inspire change in the hearts of the guarded.

But it is after the guardian demonstrates his intent, that we feel safeguarded and hope is justified.

May the seeds grow into a strong tree to shelter Humanity from harsh storms.

May we all support the New Guardian with our own efforts, to nourish the soil that has been so parched.

Starving on Stained Glass

Starving on Stained Glass 40×30 Acrylic and Gold on Canvas

The Church has always announced itself as a friend to the poor.

So many seek food, shelter, and comfort in the faith based social services available when society does not care for the destitute. But to eat, you must first hear the diatribe while you wait.

Eyes of Fallen Kings

Eyes of Fallen Kings 36×36 Acrylic and Gold on Canvas

A true leader can see beyond the horizon of his own lifetime. There will always be the greedy and the power mongers beckoning. A great leader hears only the voices of the people he represents and considers their future beyond his reign.

In the Past

In the Past 36×36 Acrylic and Gold on Canvas

Passion lives in the present and in the future.

Sentiment can hold us prisoner to memories we generate in idealistic creativity. It appears beautiful in retrospect.

To continue the odyssey of our lives we must heed passion and hold sentiment as a treasure to carry forward with us.

Meeting of the Minds

Meeting of the Minds 36×36 Acrylic and Gold on Canvas

When  people, from different paths, unite in agreement, in thought, in understanding, a spark ignites in the mind.

The spark can turn into a blaze when it finds the heart, where it can grow into action .

Village of Sleeping Truths

Village of Sleeping Truths 36×36 Acrylic and Gold on Canvas

Truth exists whether it is recognized or not.

Truth often sleeps in the shadows of well lit houses.

Truth can be found behind ghosts, if we do not settle for apparitions.

The Only Way Out

 

The Only Way Out • 36×48 • Mixed Medium on Canvas

A net work of people is so much stronger than any individual.

Only through cooperation and unification can we rise out of complacency and shake the illusions, the skeletons of rat-like entities from our present net of society.
