"Pilgrimage"
oil painting - 22"X 28"
9/1987.

The quest for knowledge is an awakening into consciousness, an evolution, a letting go of the past, to bravely face the future. In some ways, it is a remembering of the totality of one's sentient, whole Being - a returning to Wholeness. The very act of starting the journey creates reverberations, whose eventual effect we can not know until further down the path. To make the first step forward, is to choose the direction of one's Destiny.
