A Song of Stillness
Stillness is in the benevolent horse
who offers the guidance of his spirit
and the wisdom of his heart
Stillness is in the roar of the waterfall
and the vibration of harmony when many sounds
make one sound
Stillness is in the curve of a swan's neck
joining the upper and lower realms
representing strength through silence
Be.... Still.....

THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
This is an Essential Soul Essence Portrait of a horse named Star. Star was a healer, a teacher of being-ness. The waterfall offers us a release of emotion into the calm, still pool below. A treble cleft rises beyond mere sheet music to sing of the octave range of lower and higher vibrations. The swan mirrors this symbolic dance between the higher realms and the physical, as under the water a tiny new life awakens.
