Illuminated in the Current Self - from the Theological Virtues series (SOLD)
36"x 36" Watercolor and Gold Metallic Acrylic on Birch Panel
In our struggle to find our place in the world there are times of great darkness. We regret past decisions, we hate who we are, and fear our future. Yet, within us rests the potential of our soul, like a resting snake, waiting for us to notice that we are not alone. The blessed and painful experiences of our past provide a light by which to explore how it is we've gotten this far. What motivated our constructive or limiting behavior? What is it that nurtured our soul? Only through accepting and forgiving who we were, are we able to illuminate the darkness and stand gratefully in the fullness of our current self. And warmed by that gratitude our soul will awaken to carry us forward into our personal greatness.
