Through A Dream:

A Dream saying, ìPeace young man, let there be peace in your mind. Think now! Think of what sustains you, think of what creates creation, think and see with the light of the imagination.

Light:

A light brighter than the sun that did not hurt my eyes, sight of that which Is with my eyes closed and with them open. The feeling of the balance between positive and negative became only love. This was a remembrance of love, its mystery and application is to my mind like oxygen is to my body.

Love infinite existing within, throughout and as a balance of positive and negative.

As ink flows like life, lines are made as are our actions, for good and ill. These lines cannot be erased, only altered, masked, or discarded. Even still, they will always exist as part of the relative past, visible or not. I work with what I have to work with, remembering, perceiving, evolving as the work takes form, as I shape my character. These drawings and paintings are stories of my experience, as seen through the energy of my imagination. Perception of the movement in all things, that is the core material, the relative physical configuration and the infinite extension of all things, that is and is not dichotomy, that is energy, that is life. To Remember and Perceive that this light, love, energy is everything and everywhere all at one time/moment - nothing is separate - All is One - says this energy that is this ancient land, and the world's ancient cultures; seen and interpreted through these modern eyes in this time of evolving modern cultures.

Notice Love:

• notice the bridge between the spiritual and the tangible
• notice the sacred in all things, for all things are energy
• notice the sacred in the cultures of this world, both ancient and modern
• notice the bridge that exists between all religions and spiritual practices that seek to honour that which creates creation
• notice the bridge that exists between cultures
• notice our actions and attempts to control, prevent and perpetuate negativity
• notice that fear and fanaticism are dark shrouds covering eyes open to the connection found in ideas of light, ideas of energy, ideas of love
• notice and respect this earth, its finite and infinite resources and its inhabitants
• notice paradox, dichotomy
• notice one thing being the configuration of many things able to have seemingly individual experiences while being of an infinite whole
• notice that there is enough of what we need, notice creation
• notice the bridge that exists between this world and the next, notice how they are one, for nothing is separate
• notice what we cannot see or fully understand
• notice understanding furthering beyond what was once believed impossible
• notice that we never stop the seeking regardless of the infinite properties of the quest
• notice that we are All Light Infinite
• notice that all is of one energy, all is but a matter of configuration
• notice that All is heaven, it is through our choices that we create life to be heaven or hell
• notice love, for this energy is love

Escape to Windermere:

This is the land of mist and warm sweet air, The land of cold sharp winds and heavy snow falls

A landscape cloaked in a thin layer of fertile soil, from whose fabric stands strong healthy forests upon the multicoloured smooth mountainous features of Muskoka's Canadian shield.

This is the land where the northern lights dance, Amongst the strong glow of ancient star light, As the magic oil black water mirrors both this world and the heavens above.

While the creatures of the forest roam free and scream as loud as they want ìFor there is no language that God cannot understand, for All is God, every person, place and thingî I hear them sing.

From the most beautiful and intense of landscapes come the most beautiful and intense thoughts and emotions. Seen through the mind's eye are the many battles of good and evil, light and dark, positive and negative which are interpreted and reasoned with through sight in the light of the imagination; which continually exists without change or interruption, in both day light and complete darkness. It is that which continually exists as everything.

The Young Man-The Escape, The Evolution, Light of Light and Darkness,

Up late, as ink flows like water, drawing and writing in the house that misplaces the measurement of time, this pen is shaking with anticipation, I feel that if I set it down or have a lapse in concentration-I will miss what I will miss-losing it forever. Visual expressions of the experience of being alive.

Paying attention to what I feel I must pay attention to, living well, watching time become completely unreasonable, utterly relative and beyond. Through the window, the shapes of the tall pines and late winter deciduous trees stand and sway, telling stories of ordered chaos, as their trunks and branches stretch endlessly into the ancient star light, into where the tangible is and is not. Soon, this night and the clear view of countless untold worlds will be masked by the scattering of light from our own star, allowing for existence in this form for another day.
