Another Arty Piece...since I'm in the mood

Oh ok, I'm on faith thing again, notice I said faith and not religion, I am not religious (I avoid its connotations overtly actually), but this is the 2nd of 2 pieces I did for an exhibition, the exhibition was entitled God, Love, Life & Murder, and the piece above is the more 'soppy' of the 2.

I honestly believe that one cannot focus just on the good at the exclusion of 'evil', we need to be acutely aware of 'bad stuff' so we can commit to and understand the imperative of the 'good stuff'... I wrote this little piece about 10 years ago but I think it finds resonance here:

"If we love only that which is good then it is not God we are loving but something other to which such a name is ascribed, we must love God too through the evil around us, solely because evil is as real as the good, and behind all reality is God! remember it takes a bit of devilry to create the best Angels..."

Time for change...

Or should it be change with time? Sometimes I feel we get the two confused... I think we should live true according to our heart's knowledge of what's right, strive to live that way despite the hardship that may at times arise and in that way, as the cliche goes we can be the change we want to see in the world!!!

Easier said than done…

It’s when you stand in the absolute blackness of night, your soul, hammered into submission by time’s relentless  ravaging, doubt now so manifest you know it’s true,  and fear so tangible you can’t find the will to scream, and then, knowing the demon stands behind you, you turn and face it, and in the almost certainty of  defeat, you fight the good fight,  raging against it with every ounce of you you have left, cos you know being good and true in this life is battle eternal, and right at that moment the act is more important than the outcome… Then you know what it is to true to you.
