An Arrival & A Dispensation - or Energy once released cannot be called back.

Joy is the Muscle of Action

Nature's duality 5 Senses shows, the delights of the eye,the smell of the rose - the taste of honey, the sting of the bee - the song of the birds as they sing in the trees. Yet the Inner-Senses All that disperses, to reveal Unseen Universes. |

Moved to somehow express anxieties and possibly explain to myself the emotions
stirred up by the Corona Virus situation, I approached the studio. Perhaps at first simply to release energy like some people might go running, punch a punching-bag, scream, meditate or whatever. My initial effort quickly changed as I found myself feeling quite focused and simply drawing whatever came to me automatically. Then I took a little nap and during it, or right upon awakening I somehow conceptually knew, or saw in my mind's eye, the four pieces and their title "The Four Cures". Over a period of two weeks I diligently worked on this group, but still with the automatic abandon of allowing the pieces to suggest their forms without my intellect being too strict. Sometimes this process surprised even me. I believe they are an attempt to use the ancient concept of the Four-Elements as a framework to exemplify the Natural connectivity of all living and organic and inorganic matter. We are all in relationship with these forces and our association with them can and does reflect our states of dis-ease and/or well-being. Perhaps the images offered will help to calm thoughts of anxiety. The figures themselves, all seem to be Life-affirming and benevolent, if not somewhat Otherworldy. Physics has opened up all manner of new and transformative insights into the nature of the unseen and unknown Universes, the worlds of probabilities, parallel universes, and the worn out and thoroughly limiting illusory concepts of Time and Space. Perhaps the more we travel inward, the more we will approach new frontiers which may balance us out, and redefine our connection to each other and the worlds we share.
