Beauty's Alchemy
24x24
Acrylic on board
Is it unwise to wish for too much?
To dream a dream dreamed for us by the Divine?
Why say; "be careful what you wish for"?
Why not fill our baskets to the brim with good and earnest wishes
and strive for them all?
Isn't that why we are here?
To bear witness to the beauty, mystery and alchemy of this planet.
Beauty and creativity are mirror twins,
deny them presence,
they lure us into the underbelly
of primordial havoc,
stripped of compassion and love,
we dive into chaos and madness.
Beauty - a divine breath that blows the heart open.
John O'Donohue
