Description

Though based on a photograph, this painting was inspired by the somewhat smaller waterfall that sings past the prayer chapel at the Vida Joven Farm/Camp north of Matagalpa, Nicaragua. The Birds of Paradise, Heliconias, and other tropical plants grace the flow of the sparkling waters in this quiet place of meditation. I wrote the following poem....................................INTO THE HOLY
Into the Holy,
secret hiding place,
into the eye of God:
Bourne on His breath,
Bathed in His Love,
Basked in His Wisdom,
Awed in His Presence,
Healed in His Gentleness,
Freed
from pain and fears,
from un-forgiveness and tears,
from stereotypes and prejudices,
from stubbornness and pride,
from ghosts and expectations,
from failures and successes,
in His Mercy,
by His Mercy,
for His Mercy and Grace -
Abundant, Full and Free, Falling, Cascading
Crashing over, Inundating, Reviving me.
Smoothing the roughness,
crushing the things that destroy and wound in me,
gathering, sweeping me up in Your plan,
Your Purpose that, Perfect, rushes
toward Fulfillment.
Out of the glacier coldness, frigid, unyielding,
comes the abundance, splashing, joyful dancing,
flowing the mighty river of provision
for eons, for all.
written September 2001 while in Austria, visiting the largest waterfall in Europe

�And he showed me a river of the water of life,
clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God�
and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.� Revelation 22:1-2
