Silent Stillness
An early piece of work which recognizes the silence of snowfall and the stillness of frozen rock.
This is the place in which to begin a spiritual journey – simply waiting
PIERCING HEARTFLOW
Something within the silent stillness pierces the very heart of who I am. There is an outpouring, a bursting forth, an uncontrolled gushing that can’t be contained within one’s being. This is the place from which to work with the moment of the piercing, with what it is suggesting needs attention.
Quiet Hiddenness
Staying there in the hidden place, a quiet, darker even eerie place. Yet always with the suggestion that deep within there is light.
Moving towards this light, gently, expectantly and reverently helps us befriend the hiddenness of our inner being.
Nuanced Harmony
Giving oneself to that unique inner journey creates a harmonious sense of flow. The colours combine to create a sense of the whole, while no two parts are identical.
This outward expression of an inner truth is seen by others, is noticed by ourselves and gives us hope and courage to keep on, to journey further in understanding life and love, light and shade, pain and pleasure.
Grounded Embedded
And so we emerge from our inner journey with a sense of solidarity with the earth. It is the place where we belong. It is the stuff from which we are created.
The grounding also gives us a sense of security.
The earth surrounds us. In it we are embedded and protected. We feel secure.
We experience a stability and a strength that gives us the courage to go on.
