The Centre of Your Soul is part of the Abstract Collection..look closely and the brush strokes will seem to coalesce into the imagery expressed in the poem…
I started to create the work with the poem running through my head, and as the brush moved across the paper, the abstract image emerged at the same time as the water, garden, and river made their presence known.
It was exactly as I wanted it to be…a feeling of great depth, a submergence of self, and surrender to the soul.

There is a quiet water
In the center of your soul,
Where a son or daughter
Can be taught what no man knows.

There’s a fragrant garden
In the center of your soul,
Where the weak can harden
And a narrow mind can grow.

There’s a rolling river
In the center of your soul,
An eternal giver
With a rich and endless flow.

There’s a land of muses
In the center of your soul,
Where the rich are losers
and the poor are free to go.

So remain with me, then,
To pursue another goal
And to find your freedom
In the center of your soul.. J. Kavanaugh
