Nothing is permanent and this is good WHY?
The truth and unchanging remains intact at your core,and never keeps score
With the flip of a hat
just like that
on your fingers snap
snap,snap!
You can be approved of from
both near and far
however,at the deepest core
you can not be loved more
than the truth of
Who you really are
You can be disdained of from
both near and far
however, at the deepest core
you can not be hated any more
than the truth of
Who you really are
With the flip of a hat
just like that
on your fingers snap
snap,snap!
YOU are not the ROLE or the GOAL
yet you experience it as it rolls through
YOUR FLOW.
LOVE is the constant of which to fly by
your Heart KNOWS truth, as you try
and float in your growth.

There is no wrong
or right
try as you might
with every fight
heart closed in freight
in pursuit of Love and Light
There is no wrong or right.

There is no better or worse
through all the words you curse
with no money in your purse
riding body in the back of a hurst
There is no better or worse.

There is no evil
in witch to dwell
no endless pit to hell
release you from its grip and spell
untold stories wishing to tell
from high cliffs
you did not be fell
There is no evil
in witch to dwell.

All is but ONE, ofcourse
ride majesticly on bareback horse
smiling wildly with no remorse
there will not be recourse
All is but ONE, ofcourse.

Each magnet pulled back to its
source
in healed wholeness its
force
recycled and throne
back
for another course.

Perpetual pulsing
in and out
of energy moving
throughout.

YOU ARE CREATING IT AS YOU LIVE IT, IS IT WHAT YOU WANT TO SHARE? IF so, TURN UP THE VOLUME

I asked myself, what art could I create for the Ancestors exhibit? i recognized the answer and immediately jumped into action. Grabbing my camera, I was off to one of the very powerful sights along the Sinnissippi River walk in Rockford,Illinois on a bright beautiful summer day. Over the next few days I was consumed with creating a visual to match the energy that touched me. That is one of the aspects represented to me in this piece - a visual of the past communicating the unseen. I see the four directions protected and evidencing safety offered unconditionally from our stones and giants from another time in evolution but very much available today. Later, in researching the original sculpture I found an article by James Auer written in the Milwaukee Journal,March,12,1988 titled Granite Giants Next for Terese Agnew. It states that the sculpture by Terese Agnew ( The Rockford Rock Guardians,in this picture) was made possible by a group of volunteers from the community coming together to help build the design and was part of a project called Art in the Parks coordinated with the Rockford Park District and the Rockford Art Museum, Rockford,Illinois. Ms. Agnew was inspired by a tall tale about the discovery of Rockford - a legend of a mysterious stone bullwork encountered by a group of 1st century canoists during a voyage of discovery down the river. "Through-out history there have been many guardians to protect people and sacred places. In popular culture we find fantastic possessors of power who seem to be the progeny of our desire to be guarded. My intent with this visual is that it is emblematic of our desire for a more pure breed of authority"she said. She also stated"that one of the enjoyable things about working with this stone is that is posses a timeless strength and power of its own. When completely carved and mounted the statues appear to have emerged from the river itself". It is my hope that the timeless power and protection from our unseen ancestors pops off the page for a powerful visual experience of energy and serves as a reminder of the safety and protection and community always available to us; which deserves to be honored for the much often unseen, unacknowledged devotion. May it also remind of the strong connection available in our communities often reflected in its art. In gratitude for the power and inspiration we can each be for each other.
