New Directions

I am calling this new page New Directions because over the last year I have been experiencing what feels like a sea change in the way I am seeing images and verbal content. This is proving both exhilarating and scary. The goal of this particular page is to display the outcome of this change in perspective. My sense is that I'd like to display by visual representation images that are striking, to me at least. The images may contain less emotionality than previous pictures or not.

This image fairly accurately depicts a numinous experience I had several years ago while sitting in our artroom one evening.

Suddenly, yet slowly, my head and face were pulled involuntarily upward and to my right, my mouth opening unbidden. Out of it thousands of a white bubble like material poured outward and upward. They rose up and over a waterfall like precipice before lazily gathering themselves at the top in a wavelike fashion, circled back over the falls, continuing downward into my still opened mouth. Behind this unfolding occurrence was a pale rainbow.

It was an incredibly sublime and surreal experience which left me stunned by its beauty and strangeness. The word Kindness impressed itself upon my senses.

I have rendered this scene in pastel imperfectly but as faithfully as I was able in an effort in capture visually this spiritually unforgettable event.
