Description
This is a sepia version of my original image, "The Life We Live." The thoughts that these images stirred within me are based in the lives of my dear parents and their passing. I have learned so much about myself and what life means to me from their 'deaths.' The crazy thing is that I feel them with me more now than ever. Their spirits wrap around me every day and every hour. And so in this image, one that kind of looks like an hour glass, makes me think of the passage of time. The stillness of the water inside the glass and the beautiful reflection and shadows of sunlight shining through it made me reflect.
Like a lovely blue glass of water, our bodies are the vessels that hold our thoughts, feelings, our spirits within. We can fill those vessels with good things or bad. We can think about what we put in them, or we be careless and not really think about it at all.
I was thinking about how maybe we all have a loving spirit that begins inside of each of us . . . a spirit that joins us all together and relates us all to each other. That spirit that is so great, so all-encompassing that no human can even begin to understand its greatness. Maybe the existence of that great spirit is what drives so many of us to find a god, a reason. It is a love that we feel but cannot explain. . . but what we put into our vessels fills our lives. The outside world certainly has its impact on our cups, but we are still in charge of what stays in. It is way more difficult for some than for others to keep a hold of the love and the hope, but somewhere in each is a collective spirit. And what we have inside of us is what we reflect to the rest of the world. It is hard work to have beauty shine through for others to see and feel, but I think, that is actually the goal of our time here on Earth. . . to reflect compassion, tolerance, acceptance and love . . . and to one day go back and join with the spirit that we all came from.
I wish peace and love and truth to everyone who has so kindly taken the time to read my ramblings! Thank you!
Loving our Earth is part of that collective feeling of unity. I am so concerned with our environment that I have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
