I am I. AND I am a part of it all. I am an actor and an observer in the play. As I move through the land, I consciously connect my visual focus to my heart and experience my awareness. A duality play – at its core is wonderment of Nature and on its edge, the opposing sense of a lurking despair. I’m forced to ask myself questions. I’m trying to understand what is lost in the meaning of our independence and its relationship to the present times of mounting chaos. What does the Future mean to us? What does Hope mean to us? What does Life mean to us? It is all so pathetic at times yet the pathetic can project its own sense of paradoxical beauty, if I look hard enough and if I want balance.

Beauty is what transforms my despair into Hope. Inverting the negative experience into positive shades of Light, exposing the subtle inspiration of continuous motion; that we still exist and we still have time to look within and manifest the essential potential of Freedom’s dream.
