DEEP TIME painting on display.

Not the best photo - lacks focus. But the basic icon is clear enough, and that's what's important. The second shot is one of what may be many variations on the original painting.

Notes; from an artist 3/24/2013

As an artist for most of my life, there are a few things I've come to recognize about human nature.

Most people prefer that which can be imagined to that which is real, because what is real is

much more frightening.

The imagination sometimes leads to better creations, but believing the stuff of imagination

puts everyone in peril.

Meditating on Eternity can help you find the quiet place within yourself where you have a

true sense of the real and the imagined, and your judgement is not impaired by anything or

anyone in your environment.

PLANTING THE SEED OF THE IDEA THAT TIME IS GOD.
So that it may grow in the future. For it is good.

No photos yet, but I did three paintings this week of the Deep Time symbol, then took them down to the Keynote Cafe in Jeannette to be in the art show starting next Saturday.

I'll put up pics after they're on the walls.

It is natural to fear Deep Time.

But accepting it overcomes that fear. 

A mind in a state of chaos fears change and desperately grasps the illusion of permanence.

Fear of change is a fear of Time, which is the fear of the permanence of Time and Eternity. The fear is at first one of loneliness. What does that say about our species, our need to be social? It says something very positive to me. Not only do we desire to procreate our species, we also deeply desire to communicate

.

At some point you must no longer be afraid of Deep Time. You must say to Time, “I no longer fear going back into the soup of nature from which I came, what some call death. For I know I also emerged from this ‘soup’ in many forms, many times.”
