Title
The Secret Eye of Faith
Artist
Sarah Hornsby
Medium
Painting - Acrylic On Watercolor Paper Matted
Description
Imagining the flower of faith in bloom, I painted using deep rose to lavender pink. Light emanates from the center. Continuing to search the writing of Thomas Merton for imagery, I chose the following excerpt.....................................
Praises and canticles anticipate
each day the singing bells that wake the sun.
Open the secret eye of faith
And drink these deeps of invisible light.
**
Alabanzas y canticos anticipan
Cada día las campanas cantando que despiertan el sol.
Abre el ojo secreto de la fe
Y bebe esas profundidades de luz invisible.
“If I take the wings of dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, Even there Thy hand will lead me…” Psalm 139:9-10
“…si levantara el vuelo hacia el oriente, o habitara en los límites del mar occidental, aun allí me alcanzaría tu mano…” Salmo 139:9-10
