A KNOWING 8×8 oil on canvas
For a long long time, you appeared only in my dreams. You had no face that I could see. You were a presence. I knew you by your spirit. By your soul. When I awoke, I would remember and long for you. You Loved me. You were teaching me what Love is……..I was learning to let down my carefully guarded walls and tell you my secrets.
After long periods of forgetfulness, you would come back to me to remind me that Love is real. That it is not an illusion. There is a true sun beyond the poor lamp lights we live with in our nights.
I began to see you in other people. I recognized your spirit, your soul in their love and in their creativity. This was exciting and helped my endurance, yet I knew there was more. More of You in my own personal story. A knowing that I cannot communicate adequately. A knowing beyond words.
