Balance in the Chaos What is this churning deep inside my soul? What is this burning that will not let me go? In the stillness I am quite, I do not breath a sound. In the stillness I am unmoving, yet the churning still abounds. I seek for words but come up short. The feeling is bigger than my vocabulary. I seek for answers but have none to report, The churn evades my every quarry. Is it friend or foe? Is it a guiding light, or sent to imploded. Should i banish this beast, or embrace it like a child? Should I run to retreat, or let it run wild? Is it pushing me to greatness or pulling me into defeat? Is this rumbling moving forward or keeping me in my seat? Answers will come, but maybe not today. Until then I keep on stepping and seek for balance in the fray. Gouache and Acrylic on canvas 20 x 20 x 1.5 in 2019 $250

VULNERABILITY The helmet falls. Fresh air hits my face. The burden is lifted, I can quicken my pace. The armor had almost grown to me, as I hid inside my metal shell. I forgot it could be taken off. I had worn it so long so well. It is scary to hear my armor fall, and know arrows may pierce my chest. But the rush of freedom, being fully seen. Without a doubt I know its best. The armor may protect you, but it also holds you back, from giving the world your uniqueness, and showing up where it lacks. Gouache & Acrylic on canvas 48 x 30 x 1.5 in 2019 $720

Burn Your Boat Burn your boat, don't leave an avenue of retreat. It is win or lose. Victory or defeat. Its a high stakes game. All in or all out. Its a leap of faith. No turning about. We're all in our heads, thinking everything is logical. But the best things in life come from doing the impossible. The impossible is not logical. It doesn't make sense. It might be good for taxes, but not for moving mountains. What boats can you burn? What safety net are you clinging to? Whats the step you're avoiding that you know you should do?

LEAVE THE LIGHT ON Someone left a light on, high up on a hill. For those in deep water, or looking for another pill. For those who feel abandoned, or beaten by the waves. For those who took a wrong turn, which left others broken and betrayed. A beam through the darkness, a welcoming light. A sign of compassion, a way out of the plight. A shot of hope in the coldness. A warm embrace without words. No agenda but love. No voice lecturing to be heard. No photo shoot for Facebook. No campaigning for a vote. Just a simple light left on, a symbol of care for a lost boat. Gouache & Acrylic on canvas 24 x 30 x 1.5 in 2019 N/A
