BEAUTY In the midst uncertainty. My daily post of one image of beauty to counter the currently overwhelming fear narrative.
MEDITATION ON RESONANCE 10.16.11 (2011) – Today I’m posting a painting and the 2nd verse lyrics of a song I wrote a few years ago. The song describes what the experience of painting is like for me. I have a belief that in the act of creating, I am connecting myself to the very first moments of the creation of the Universe. I used to think the painting itself was the revelation but I’ve found that it’s actually in the act of creating where wisdom is revealed to me. The painting is the evidence that it happened.

STANDING IN THE QUIET, LISTEN (2nd verse)
standing in the quiet listen
let it tell you what you are missing
something in this moment is writing it all
let it find you in the silence
like a river of divine guidance
something in this moment is guiding it all
then watch as it unfolds
something good beholds you
like you’re the first day of creation
you’re the revelation
canvas, color and line
with grace and mercy find
a way to your soul so can you feel it
even these words reveal it
in this moment
in this moment
even these words
