Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art
FROM ZERO to WHOLESOMENESS ON THE WAVES OF TIME
– a poem
From nothing to wholesomeness
And then to nothing again
From zero to all the numbers
From the empty womb to new life
From the round seed to the wholesome tree
And then to recede And then to seed again
And we cycle and cycle .. and cycle
With repeated spiraling of bonded zeroes till eternity
While time moves on its unstoppable wheels
And we are given a present to be present in the present
To understand the holy void and holy wholesomeness

Waste does not exist in nature because ecosystems reuse everything that grows in a never-ending cycle of efficiency and purpose.

The ogres and witches and giants of fairytales stand in as metaphors for those obstacles that we all face in our own lives.
BEYOND THE WATER DROP
From Big Bang to Eternity
A poem dedicated to our son Aaron on his birthday
From the explosive womb of Big Bang Hydrogen,
your progenitor was born
Consisting of single moving and opposite forces
Seeking companionship, and a need for Oneness
Bigger and more powerful than the self
And the atoms and elements and then the molecules of life
Were themselves given life
And then you my darling water
The purest of beings
Born with a gush from the amniotic sacs of Big Bang
Finding your way to virgin earth
Under forces beyond you
With forces in you
To enable all of life
For without you we would not be
The single droplet of rain hitting the puddle
With its kind but explosive kinetic force
Under the same original force that brought you to earth
Converting to a beautiful sound of the droplet on water
With an array of waves in perfect circle
As I ponder this wonder
The beauty of physics at its best
No energy destroyed, just converted
A simple yet not so simple action reaction of Newton
Snow, ice, vapor, waves of the sea, and a flowing river
Calming of the soul
Giver of life From Big Bang to Eternity

Hydrogen is a light, odorless gas, which, given enough time, turns into people.

The Cells of the Heart
The AiA rendering of the heart is derived from a histological section of the cellular and tissue makeup of the heart. The right ventricle is colored in blue depicting the presence of deoxygenated blood and the left ventricle is colored in red depicting the presence oxygenated blood. The syncitial morphology of the cells allows efficient, coordinated, and collaborative communication and contraction between the muscle cells.
Philosophically the coordination of the small parts allows the bigger part to have greater functionality. The whole is therefore bigger than the parts

The little people must be sacred to the big ones, and it is from the rights of the weak that the duty of the strong is comprised.
