DIVINE FRENZY

Wrapped in the rapture of consciousness unbridled... set aflame with an insatiable fire ... the knowing that calls to soul... this the exaltation of BEING...

"And when, after having divested yourself of your mortal body, you arrive at the most pure ether, you shall be a God." Pythagoras

compliance gives way to creative freedom

restriction gives way to expansive understanding

confinement gives way to total liberation

doubt gives way to boundless faith

judgment gives way to BEING

DIVINE FRENZY the breath of soul

spirit winds aflame

cloak of mortal clothing shed

flaring breath of soul as SELF known

alignment, resonance with earth, water, fire, air, either

sacred interplay of sound, light and spirit

ascension real, ascension real.

APOGEE Paradigm™

From Holland to Here

A Poetic Tribute to the Dutch... an afternoon of shared delight ...
 a gathering of community in celebration of time and artistry... 
Do avail yourself of such pleasures presently on exhibit...

From Holland to Here

Dutch farmers of yesteryear, their heritage in Orangetown known

The delights of creation from many a hand be shown

Lush be the forests, fertile be the farmland, the river banks a treasure

Welcomed by Dutch Settlers for many a vision, many a measure

Passions in ventures, across the seas, all in praise

Labors, artistry, faith and family to fill their days

Artifacts of heart and hand to behold

Within many a tale to unfold

Alchemic be the light in artistry fine

Captured be the divinity of Being and time

Behold, behold, the beauty of craft and art

From which your viewing venture bears its start.

And in deep appreciation for all that George Way has brought 
to this most engaging exhibit...

In Tribute to George Way

Keeper of the MUSE

And who may the keeper of the muse be

But he who holds to creation's decree

One who is touched by the artistry of hand and heart

From which delight bears its blessed start

One who holds in reverence divine

Artifacts of being, place and time

One who sees the grace and love

The blessings of earth, the heavens above

One who is touched by the craft of soul, inspiration true

This the keeper, this the keeper, that defines You.

With loving appreciation,
