I like the poem but not the thought of disposable angels. Mother Nature knows how to keep recyling what has perished into borne again green.

This is a gorgeous sculpture indeed. I like the rhythmic curvature that shapes the entire piece and the upward tilt of the head. I also like the different hues that define its rich coloring. Much gratitude for the sharing. Aberjhani

Christ Mocked by Soldiers (1932) Rouault




Jesus is sitting not standing with nothing around him to gatherour senses on, we can only consider closely what he will or won't do next, as he went about his business of the universe relentlesslywithholding his radiance and splendor, as the winds spindled him into the fabric of God's making.

Hermes with Child



Hermes the prankster of the Gods, sired Dionysus,
the first New Year's baby....

the love child of Zeus and a pregnant Semele,

who died when a wish backfired because

when early manhood calls, he must

be ready.

Sculpting the Heart

Expressing ourselves creatively does more than bring us joy. It is just plain good medicine. It helps us resolve inner conflicts, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness. Even Jesus reminds us, if you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. What you do not bring forth from within will ultimately destroy you."

I personally believe being happily engaged in writing and art making is better than not; and secondly, living without depression, pain and anger… Continue
