Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such. ~ Henry Miller
Genesis 1:26-28 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

I have begun to long for you, / I who have no greed; / I have begun to ask for you, / I who have no need. / You say you’ve gone away from me, / but I can feel you when you breathe. L.Cohen more stories here

A common sight among petroglyphs is the human hand connoting the presence of man, his work, his acheivements, his legacy. It also represents the direction of the creative spirit through a man, as a vessel for the Creator’s power.

My father-in-law is nearly 81, and holding on to his way of living, taking care of his appartment, fending for himself, and looking after his ailing girlfriend as well. Walking to her appartment everyday to help her with the daily chores, to do the necessary errands, and to make sure that she takes her medication properly. Walking back to his place in the evening, doing his own housework, laundry, sweeping and shoveling, choosing to maintain two households instead of moving in with his girlfriend, holding on dearly to his independance. Stubbornly holding on to his dignity, refusing to use the cane that could help him when he gets the occasional bout of dizziness. Choosing to do all this hard work instead of going to a retirement home, holding on fiercely to his pride and autonomy. Taking care of his son and grandsons, always making sure that they are well and happy, that they have everything they need. Holding on lovingly to his fathership. Going on through life, with the constant pain in his joints, the weight of all those years pressing down on his shoulders and on his heart, just holding on… Focal length 55mm / ISO-200 / Aperture f/5,6 / Shutter 1/13 sec.

Fragile and wounded he found her. Fallen. Hurting. In so much pain. He picked her up. Normally she would have flown away and hidden from a human male, but she was too weak to resist. She looks up to him. She wonders what his intentions are. Will he hurt her even more than she has been? But he holds her gently. He looks at her with adoration. And, he speaks to her from his heart – words of hope, words of love…words of truth. He will hold her together. He will love her to wholeness. And some day she will fly once again. This composite was inspired by an e-mail that my mother sent me a while back. It was a “forward” called “I’ve Learned….” by Andy Rooney. The whole thing was good, but there was one particular lesson, one I identified with so much above all the others, I felt the urge to expound on it at the time. So I did, in a blog post. Now I can express what I’ve learned in a visual representation, as well. “I’ve Learned…. That love, not time, heals all wounds.” While the passing of time can sometimes ease the pain of some wounds, it doesn’t always (or, even often) work like that. And, in most cases, wounds left to time alone will only fester and become septic, allowing that wound to poison the soul and the whole life, the pain only getting worse as time goes by. My emotional wounds were like that. No amount of time was ever going to see them get any better. They were too deep. Some were even self-inflicted. All time could do was numb me to some of the pain, while all too much pain became excruciatingly acute. Time heals nothing. Love reaches deep; it doesn’t stop at the surface. It doesn’t cover it over with a plaster while, underneath, the injury is allowed to get worse and worse. Love can make you whole. All time can do is make you old. I have been severely wounded. I have hurt so badly that, for me, time dragging on was only an enemy. I wanted death more than anything. Then, love – Jamie – found me and began to work on me. I’ve been under the care of my “Love-Doctor” now for nearly six years. And, everyday sees me getting better. Not because time is passing, but because love is healing me. It’s true. Time isn’t a cure-all. Love, and love alone, is the great Healer. This work of art was a collaboration with my husband, my rescuer, James Leader . The photo of me and the design of my wings are his work. The background and the photo of him I took. Photo editing and manipulation were my doing, as well.
