Moment of FREEDOM

Last evening in Celebration of July 4, 2025 fireworks were heard ... Our Freedoms in Declaration ... our resolve put forth ... and so we become that moment of FREEDOM ...

Moment of FREEDOM

The shedding of shackles and confine

This quest of spirit and mind

The moment of birthing freedom sought

Beyond the illusion suppression has taught

The reach to the God within

To vanquish each false sin

With brush and paint I to proclaim

This Moment of Freedom in Truth's name

Peaks and flames of passion and desire

The light and glory of Spirit's known fire.

What comes to BE ~ a Birth Eternal

YES… the MUSE makes its presence known. This the moment to hush the clamor, to rise above task and deed, to allow what flows within you to be honored by its expression.  Passion, palette and brush unrestrained, words as pulsations of heart… and so "Moment of Freedom" comes to BE - a Birth Eternal. 

This painting occupies a wall that is seen upon entry to the APOGEE Acu-Tone™ Sound Sanctuary. Ever felt is the beckoning of the MUSE, the drama of the paint, the palette in its offerings of tone, of shade, of texture, of light. The inner call in resounding silence, be it heard.

Moment of FREEDOM ~ CANCER NO MORE...

Moment of FREEDOM, passion in expression, light and shadow in complement, strokes of color in rapturous gratitude… yes, the moment of CANCER NO MORE… This a painting that dons the entry wall of the APOGEE Acu-Tone™ Room. A welcoming to confront, to resolve, to the ultimate in wellbeing. The SELF in honor of SELF…

the body may be ravaged and feeling pain

yet there be a deeper knowing beyond the inane

the spirit holds to freedom and flight

passions yet to be expressed hold to the light

a palette of color and a canvas await

brush and strokes lay open a gate

oppression's daunting echoes silenced they be

when willful be the Spirit set free

'tis this moment of freedom that beckons and makes its call

and known be the guiding hand of the ALL.

A palette of color from nature's grace
Bloom and beauty upon Earth so placed
A tree, a flower, a gem, 'tis creation divine
Behold each in its season of time
A palette of color unto me
And so a Moment of Freedom as soul's decree.

Spirit Set Free

the body may be ravaged and feeling pain

yet there be a deeper knowing beyond the inane

the spirit holds to freedom and flight

passions yet to be expressed hold to the light

a palette of color and a canvas await

brush and strokes lay open a gate

oppression's daunting echoes silenced they be

when willful be the Spirit set free

'tis this moment of freedom that beckons and makes its call

and known be the guiding hand of the ALL.
