"Elucidation"
oil painting - 28"X 28"
1/1989.

The first light of dawning perception is like the point when the Sun reaches above the horizon, at the dawn of a New Day. How could we have forgotten that such majesty existed? It is almost beyond our capacity to truly remember that power, that brilliance, that joy. Each night is followed by a day, and there will always be a point at which we will move beyond our previous un-awakened state, into Consciousness, but it can not occur, before the time is right. When should the bud become a flower?  When will the baby take it's first step? - when the time is right, and that time is accompanied by the sound of birds singing, and bells pealing. Can you hear them, now?.
