A Time is Coming
Why would Yeshua, who said; "Yet a time is coming and has now come when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth" place any importance at all on ‘inheriting the earth?' Didn’t he tell us to store up our treasures in heaven and not in the earth because in heaven, moth and rust do not corrupt?

My darling beloved, my Soulmate, when I look into your beautiful eyes, I melt into the depths of your sweetness, your kindness, your goodness.

The Creation, (Mt.Vernon Nazarene University, Mt. Vernon, Ohio)
The Creation theme runs throughout the design of these windows. (Mt.Vernon Nazarene University, Mt. Vernon, Ohio) As an idol is not to be used to depict the HOLY ONE, the all powerful YHWH can, from traditional use, be depicted as the light of creation - the burning bush - a light revealing the presence of YHVH as a messenger to a person who is to do some incredible spiritual act to achieve some profound purpose.....

Diamond in the Rough
Sparkling, shimmering, frantic vibrations of light and color. A pitch so high it is beyond human senses. A pitch so low it emerges from the depths of that secret place unheard of. Mirroring the spark of all origins. Playful muse, circling the outer regions of sight and sound. Spiraling down to the depths of silence.

How to get started
"He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers..." (Malachi 4:6)
I have been blessed with the creative ability to conceive ideas along with the technical ability and volition to give form to those ideas. All that I am I owe to the endless blessings the Holy One has showered upon me.
In 1978 I became enamored with a particular composer and especially with a certain musical piece he composed. The Lark Ascending musical composition featuring a beautifully lyrical violin solo throughout by Ralph Vaughan Williams captivated me from the first. It was composed in 1914 and revised in 1920. The Lark Ascending is described as a pastoral piece depicting prewar England. However, taking into account the spiritual depth of his symphonic music, I personally perceive The Lark Ascending to evoke a deeper longing for the discovery of ones own inner being.
The Lark Ascending music was inspired by George Meredith's 122 line poem. The poem that I wrote by the same title was inspired by this sublime violin composition by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Through The Lark Ascending poem, which can be found at The Lark Ascending, it is my intention to reveal the interconnectedness between the arts; music, poetry and visual art, by incorporating visual images along with this poem. The imagery and the poem are best appreciated when viewed and read while listening to the music. Ballet is implied by the final line in the poem.
From a deeper, spiritual perspective, it has been written that God is love. Love is the most important of the Four Absolutes expounded upon by the Oxford Group. The idea regarding love is to ask ones self a simple question: Is it ugly? or is it beautiful? If it is ugly, it isn't love. If it is beautiful, it is love. There are no gray areas between these two poles. There is a chasm between them, but absolute beauty is absolute love. The Holy One is absolute love and is therefore absolute beauty.
I have submitted the first four articles on The Beatitudes: "Blessed are the Poor in Spirit, for Theirs is the Kingdom of Heave ", "Blessed are Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness, for They Will Be Filled", "Blessed are the Merciful for They Will be Shown Mercy" and "Blessed are the Pure in Heart for They Will See God".
In my own fumbling way of doing things, as an artist, I have been seeking beauty all of my life; through my music, my writings, my paintings, my prints and my architectural stained glass. In the series of articles I intend on writing to be published in SelfGrowth, I will be addressing the concept of beauty on a variety of levels, from the spiritual to the physical in artistic expression.
On finishing this series on the Beatitudes, depending upon the direction in which I am lead, I may divert my attention to physical aesthetics. The main conceptual theme of my most recent work is as follows:
These images are in themselves "Metaphysical Symbols". Form and color are combined, united and harmonized to create heart felt impressions of life. The concept of inner radiating light plays an integral role in the development of these images. This light emanates from within a counterpoint of darkness and shadow. In some of these images the light is radiating from without almost hiding the shadow. In others the light is radiating from within the darkness and is almost hidden. The light expresses all the positive forces of life including transcendental love. The darkness elicits the dark forces of life. Ironically, we cannot have one without the other. The darkness increases the beauty of the light just as negativity contrasting benevolence enhances the joy one experiences by doing a good deed. It is an eternal paradox.
