Hans Bruckner Walking with Giants part 3

Like wild birds we flutter around in mass, not knowing the reason why. But we somehow know that something is wrong. Something bad is coming.

That is the Spirit, our connection to all things that is speaking to us.
Our collective Spiritual self speaking to our individual physical selves...

Warning us of a yet unknown, unseen but impending doom. Whay WILL you do?

I am only here for a short time and can only help you so much. The rest WILL be up to you to understand and discover. In my art lie clues, clues that are hidden in the fabric of color and stroke. Images and meaning that tell of a world both past, present and future. For all to see if only you have the eye needed to see. You must be able to look beyond the obvious in order to know. The truths that is shows with great pain that it flows. I don't expect you to see, or if you do, to understand. Such is the WILL of the Masters hand. But if you do, please let me know. As I would be thrilled to know that there are other Souls that can see these truths that I sew.

Walking with giants.
The Guardian, the protector, the guide

weaving space and time, the fabric of creation
onto the canvas, my canvas with paint
my very soul aches

if it were not for the giants that walk with me
the ones that are rarely spoken of and
never mentioned in casual conversation
i would not be able to continue my labors

we are all one
what we do to others
we do to ourselves

now you hear
now will you listen
for an hour
for a day
for a second
then away

or will you hold true to the dream
and in time find away
to do you part
make us all do our part
and believe right now
you and i

that it must be so
why don't you see
as the world turns
so do we

we will have been judged
righteous and worthy

or just fade away

As the New Year begins I leave you with this thought as my gift.

My fellow artists, Americans, human beings of this plane, of this planet.

Please ask yourself today,
is the World you live in
the one the most desire.

Or have you become part of that
which you most despise.

without compassion and an open mind
this USA of yours
this USA of mine
will continue to fall
in the eyes of the world

Please consider this as you see this little piece of art of mine.

I hope that the link below workss for you so you can slao check out the companion piece I ust finsihed titled: Where have we been, What have we become, Where are we headed.

I hope it reveals a part of it's truth to you as you ponder the lie.
Peace in 2007.

Well the Dance begins and the Dance ends. This is the final installment of the Dance Begins post. I hope that you all had a good Winter Solstice! I sent out me well wishes for you and the world in hopes that we have a better 2007. I am in a good place spiritually and emotionally and hope that you are as well. My wish this year for all is Peace. Both the Peace that comes from inner balance and harmony as well as the Peace that is real and manifest by kindness and good will to each other. May those that are hungry for domination and destruction find a kinder gentler path more fulfilling to their souls and turn from their cruelty. rjk
