Description

In the countryside of Nicaragua, many people do not have running water, so bathe in the streams. This woman is bathing, with shorts on, as is the culturally correct way, in the water, by the dip and pour method. One can almost feel the cool water pouring in sparkling drops over the warm body of the girl. Sunlight causes shining bright areas contrasting with lavender and turquoise shadows as the water bubbles around the rocks. Painting done from photograph taken in Rivas, featured in the book 'The Nicaraguans', editor: Cesar Correa Oquel, published in Nicaragua 2006, p.21. I wrote the following poem:............................................................................................
TORRENT OF LOVE

Surge through,
torrent of love,
cleansing, brown, away
the debris
in me.

Like the rivulet
in the mountains, swollen,
my emotions rush
in thee.

Holy burning, churning,
dirty foaming at the heart,
torments,
all not at rest deep
in You.

Till, gentle mist
over mountains,
tranquil blue,
You draw it all greening
into Your breast,
in You.

After the flooding in Matagalpa, September 1997

�Streams of living water will flow from within him.�
John 7:38
