Michelangelo Merisi Caravaggio


Birth in anticipation
This the hour of Creation's Call
Pulsing, throbbing, life emergent
And then the cry
The resounding glory
Of breath and life
To mark birth anew.

Happy Birthday

In loving devotion to my Son
Christopher Angelo

Mom

Sounded like Didgeridoo at the beginning of the video, gave me goosebumps :)

strawberryelohist, Yes, the sound is haunting and beautiful at the same time. Image and music of this video I too, found to be captivating. Thank you for stopping by and sharing in this day of birth.

and to my dear Son...

as the personages emergent from the darkness by Caravaggio
as the figure freed from the marble by Michelangelo
so too our Will to create from within
our beauty our truth
and known be the divination of ONE.

Much love on to you,
Mom

as this day is lived...

Across distances, seas and oceans of time, Beauty and Truth be known
And PRAISE to you dear Son for the artistry, with God's light shown.
