Description

The first in a series of paintings done from imagination, expressing emotions of prayer and meditation. I combined this image with an excerpt from Thomas Merton.................................................When psalms surprise me with their music
And antiphons turn to rum
The Spirit sings: the bottom drops out of my soul
And from the center of my cellar, Love, louder than thunder
Opens a heaven of naked air.

***

Cuando los salmos me sorpresa con su m�sica
Y ant�fonas cambian a ron
El Esp�ritu canta: el fondo de mi alma se cae
Y del centro de mi s�tano, Amor, m�s fuerte que truenos
Abre un cielo de aire desnudo.

�You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell safely.� Psalm 4:7-8

�T� has puesto en mi coraz�n m�s alegr�a que en quienes tienen trigo y vino en abundancia. Yo me acuesto tranquilo y me duermo en seguida, pues tu, Se�or, me haces vivir confiado.� Salmos 4:7-8

(�A Psalm�, The Tears of the Blind Lions, Thomas Merton Reader, NY: Doubleday, 1974, p. 334)
