When a therapist, an artist, a poet... A young man called upon me today




A young man called upon me today
With feelings of distress and dismay
Expressed pain from oppressions past
Said he, the work of the DEVIL upon him cast
The call for revelation be it heard
Truth not deception be the beckoning word
It is what is LIVED that serves the Lord in PRAISE
Love ~ Inspiration ~ Victory ~ Eternal ~ Divinity to fill our days
Transformation and transcendence, blessings to hail
To our purity of intention, God's light to prevail 
And so the WORD in its transcendence and grace
Within his heart he did willingly place
A vision new of yesterdays and lessons to behold
And so a new story to ever unfold.

The Artist's Statement Poetically Presented



Is it

Is it brush in hand and thought in heart
From which this painting has its start
Where comes this call I hear as mine
Word, color and form these gifts of time
Is it the Muse that summons the soul
Beauty be the quest, beauty be the goal
And when in completion a work is to be
Is it the Muse I hear in joyful reverie
Is it Truth that anoints each new day
With the knowing path of the spirit's way
Ever present this reach to do and create
Welcome I Truth, the Muse, Destiny and Fate
God be known in what I receive and give
This be the decree for each moment I live
Is it when faith and knowing jointly resound
That God and the Muse so freely are found
So be it brush or pen in heart, mind or hand
It is to be in the Creator's fullest command.

Summer's soft and warm blush yet present
Hues of the season to come

Happy 2014 ~ The NOW of Time Eternal


Happy 2014

The NOW of Time Eternal


how many notes need be played
before you are the music
how many brush strokes need be made
before you are the art
how many movements need be complete
before you are the dance
how many lines need be written
before you are the poem
how many thoughts need be expressed
before you are the WORD
how many visions need be manifest
before you are the creation
how many breaths need be known
before you are the NOW
the NOW of Time Eternal... Happy 2014.

Upon Us



Upon us BE this SPRIT of light and change
As constant as each breath of life we breathe
Ever the giving, the receiving, the ebb and flow
The waxing and waning in cresting waves of time

This the blessing of THE WAY, the knowing of the divine
This the birth of the CHRIST CHILD in celebration anew
This the LOVE shared with the GRACE that is YOU.


Merry Christmas to All.

...and so this day ... PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE BE



Birth of light, this of divinity's care
Season of celebration with heart we share

Adornments upon a tree, symbols of love
Pray we to the sacred heavens above
Songs and merriment fill they the way
Peace and blessings of a Christmas Day
A Christ Child is born, gifts from wise men of three
A KING, PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE BE.

~ In Dedication ~ In PRAISE...




~ In Dedication ~

Anna

Her voice 
hear we a lilting grace
Within our hearts 
we to place

As too, a rose  
beyond conceal
Passion and beauty

she does reveal

As too, an orchid
so delicate, so grand
Divinity and desire
ennoble her command

As too, a daisy
be it frivolity and play
Petals of joyful favor
glory to mark the Way

As too, a lily
resounding be its soulful call
Fragrant be its perfume
Within the blessing, the All

A garden of song
blooms ever unfold
Sings she each note
within a story to be told

Her voice 
hear we a lilting grace
Within our hearts 
we to place.

~ In Dedication ~

Youngchul 


Your presence to live song's sacred quest
Such splendor of sound, blessing's behest

Each expression, be it of body, of spirit sublime
Your accord of heart with word in song divine 

BRAVO, is the resounding applause heard
The heart, the soul, and the Praise of Word

Sing ever, for you are the eternal ordained
This the blessings of Youngchul so named.
