“How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one’s culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.” ~Barry Lopez:

HE LEFT THIS WORLD AND WILL BE MISSED BY SO MANY. SO YOUNG AND SUCH A HORRIFIC WAY, SO ANGRY AND HURT, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER WAY. I KNOW HE LIES SAFELY IN YOUR ARMS, CAN SEE CLEARLY AND HIS PAIN IS GONE. THE SON OF MY VERY DEAR FRIEND, HELP ME HELP HER TO HELP THE PAIN END. I’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS GRIEF AND I’M ANGRY TOO. TEARS WON’T STOP FLOWING, CAN’T SLEEP OR GO ON. MY SPIRIT IS DYING AND I FEEL ALONE.
Who in this world wouldn’t wish for it… / Let us all resolute for the same… / (A symbolic representation of 2009)
The journey is long, the road ahead uncertain. / Pain and loss may delay or stall us. / But never be afraid to take the next step… even the occasional stumble… the pot-holes we encounter generally have something to teach us. / Around the next bend there may be joy, / personal growth just over the horizon… / this is life / embrace it / ...bring it on!
For God so loved the world / that He gave His only begotten Son / that whosoever believes in Him / should not perish but have / everlasting life. John 3:16

film, scanned negative. processed in photoshop. inspired by pink floyd “Coming Back to Life” “Coming Back To Life” Where were you when I was burned and broken / While the days slipped by from my window watching / Where were you when I was hurt and helpless / Because the things you say and the things you do surround me / While you were hanging yourself on someone else’s words / Dying to believe in what you heard / I was staring straight into the shining sun Lost in thought and lost in time / While the seeds of lifeand the seeds of change were planted / Outside the rain fell dark and slow / While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime / I took a heavenly ride through our silence / I knew the moment had arrived / For killing the past and coming back to life I took a heavenly ride through our silence / I knew the waiting had begun / And headed straight..into the shining sun My Images Do Not Belong To The Public Domain. / All photographs in this portfolio are owned and copyright / © Shannon Holm Photography.
A better tomorrow is in each of our hands / within our grasps, if we choose to understand Everything changes and will come to an end / i…

Watercolour pencils on paper The Dance of Life / Heaven knows. Hold onto one another / in the wonderous dance. Spinning, twirling, / you trip and fall Slower, Faster / seemingly at times out of control. But no… / Our creator and angels love us and know / to gently guide us in the steps. Keep moving / Holding tight to one another. / Remembering That Heaven knows / and lovingly orchestrates with us as we go.
An acrylic painting 22”x 28”. This image glows and sparkles, even appears to vibrate or throb, because of the type of “interference” and “iridescent’ paints used. Hopefully it’s like the real thing… and there’s gotta be a lotta heart in this. Original is in artists collection
