Romance
8×8 – oil on canvas
My father used to get tears in his eyes if I made him laugh. That’s just how he was made. I loved those tears. They encouraged me to use my voice.
The night sky used to freak me out. It fascinated me. But it made me, even when I was very young, aware of eternity. Meditating on the reality of our solar system being a tiny part of the universe turns me inside out. Looking In a mirror by holding another mirror to reflect its reflection of more mirrors, ad infinitum, has the same affect on me. There is only so much eternity our minds can hold. So instead, we make stars and moonlight, and the night sky, all symbols of romance. Love, real love is another expression of eternity. When I get in this frame of mind, I feel like a child again. I feel like I just told my dad all these thoughts and he is tickled with me for thinking them………..

Oh how I love your stars…it’s the first time I can remember seeing you do stars–those wonderful little bursts of light. And yes, He gives us tangible expressions of the “weight of His glory.” Eternity does at times seem vast beyond our understanding, but he does give us signposts pointing to Him and His longing for us.
Angela, I love it that you used the phrase “His longing for us”. It is amazing to think that LOVE longs for us!!!! LOVE is crazy about US!!!!! thanks.
