Description

From the series Circles of Light, I painted this abstract flower image in turquoise, blues and whites, glowing with light and drawing the viewer into the center of purples and reds. From Thomas Merton I chose the following excerpt:................................The flowering palms charm all the strand
With their supernal scent.
The oleander and the wild hibiscus paint
The land with blood, and unknown blooms
Open to us the Gospel of their five wild wounds.
And the deep ferns sing this epithalame:
�Go up, go up! This desert is the door of heaven!
***
Las palmas floreciendos encantan todo la playa
Con su fragrancia celestial.
La laurel rosa y la flor de jamaica pintan
La tierra con sangre, y flores desconocidos
Abren a nosotros el Evangelio de sus cinco heridas silvestres.
Y los coludos profundos cantan este epitalame:
�Subese, subese! Ese desierto es la puerta del cielo!

�(Jesus said)�I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.� John 10:9

�(Jes�s dijo)�Yo soy la puerta; el que por m� entre, se salvar� �que entra y sale y encuentra pastos.� Juan 10:9
From �The Landfall�, Figures for an Apocalypse, NY, New Directions, 1948; Thomas Merton Reader, NY: Doubleday, 1989, p. 418
