Description
Made in Nicaragua, this quilted patchwork design of the Holy Spirit Dove is of hundreds of all silk strips. I searched the used clothing shops for silk blouses, and found the brilliant colors, the reds, deep blues and purples of the Tabernacle and the varying shades of pure white. A Japanese artist made a heart design that I adapted for the Holy Spirit and fire theme. I wrote the following poem: The Holy Spirit Is Here. The Holy Spirit is here, The Wind blows where it will. Holy Wind, blow your breath on me, blow through the crevice of my being. Blow away the trash that litters my mind, the worries, the fears. Blow till all that cannot stand in Your Presence is swept away.// The Holy Spirit is here, the Fire licks my head, consumes and purifies my heart. Holy Fire, burn away all false concepts I have of You, of others, of opinions not of Your Living Flame. Burn away all my negative attitudes and dross, everything in my heart and mind not reflected in Your cross.// The Holy Spirit is here, a tender, pure white Dove. The Dove flies to you. 'This is my Beloved, listen...' Holy Spirit, Peaceful Dove, let everything I write and paint, and all my relationships, too, reflect the joy of soaring with You. In Your light, in Your wind, through the flames - I will not be burned. Through the flood waters, though they rise all around, I will put my confidence in You, that You will lead me to the higher ground. Through the fires of stress and distress, through disappointments and deceptions, God, You are with me, Jesus, the Fourth Man in the midst of the flames. January 1999
