Mary: Love Forever Being Born

18 x 24 in. Acrylic, Flashe, and Silver Leaf on Panel, 2023. 

Inspired by this poem by Sr. Ilia Delio shared by our dear friend Br. Jeff Macnab OFM  3 days before he passed on Christmas Day 2022.

"What do the stars say?

The light that meets our eyes after millions of years summons us to look beyond.

The dark that hovers over us is filled with light.

That underneath the appearance of the stable heavens is the bubbling energy of the universe.

We are forming, forming, forming and nothing can stop us.

There is a palpable power of attraction, pulling us toward we-no-not-where.

Love alone is the guide of the universe and the whole universe is in the human heart.

Tend to the heart and the power of love will name itself as God."

The Original Image was captured when the colors were just right in the light. I love how the reflective paint shifts and changes depending on your perspective.
