♫ My Beginnings ♫

Since I was a young child, the exploration of my universe,
has been through mark making.
Through the innocence of this process,
I found a means of communication with others.......a point of contact.
Plants, Animals, People, Birds , Insects....... The Cosmos itself...............
..began to be revealed, before my wide, curious eyes.

It opened my life, my heart, my mind, something......... fundamental,
was touched deep within me, each and every time.
Always new.......
It was alchemy.... It was beautiful..... I felt my spirit soar........for I had found,
A Universal language.

For Man it has ever been thus;
since earliest times, it has been one of our most basic modes of interraction.
Art, draws on the essence of Nature, the Universe itself;
connecting us to her rhythms and illimitable moods.

When Ancient Man made marks on cave walls it was to reveal to their peers,
the mysteries of life....so also its practicalities; for the need for interdependence in
daily duties, if they were to survive.......... never mind thrive.

Today, there has never been a greater need for Art.
Art celebrates all of the senses;
giving the body balance and harmony, the soul and mind, a sense of belonging.

In the natural world, the function of each organism is to realise its fullest potentialities -
- that is its fundamental ethos.
We have a need, and duty, to create a Society in which, each one of us,
has a chance to develop, their creative abilities to the fullest,
in a caring, nurturing environment.

We need to redefine our vision of how we wish the world to be ......
The eternal moment is now.
for our world is perishing through this very lack.

Art works on the inner and the outer senses.
Our children are the future!
Unless they are nurtured and esteemed through the Arts
the present behavioural poverty
in our Society will continue to spiral down.

My thoughts owe much to many, they are not mine alone.
To those who have gone before, and lit the Way, I give my love and thanks.
For we all are blessed, by their courage and example.......
And now, quite simply, it is our turn, to pick up the torch and light the Way......
For those who have yet to come.

To each, I give thanks, for your courtesy and consideration

                                            ♫ Our Mettle Tested ♫

our mettle is ever forged on the crucible of life
we are hammered and fashioned by a master hand
through the intensity of the flames we are immolated
and then phoenix like arise to renewal and fresh life
its part of the divine story that we grow through
rigorous test for we are ever pilgrims on our journey
through this earthly plane all obstacles are opportunities
to evolve our consciousness with friendship as our rock
enduring all privation with thankfulness and prayer
that thy truth ever marches on

our mettle is ever tested on the anvil through the fire
as we are divinely moulded thy sparks they ever fly
to land as burning embers in the hearts of men
ever they do smoulder until fanned into flame
by the alchemy of angels through all the celestial planes
guided by heavenly markers our mission doth unfold
singing as we shine with angelic choir ever resonating within
what a privilege to carry as to the lord we go
such a glory in this journey as thy truth it marches on

our mettle is ever shining from the glory
of above when we kindle the divine fire
when we come from everlasting love
all life doth smile when we do beam
and radiate eternal joy dancing to thy nature
we rumba to thy reign revelling in this carnival
from this sacred plane we all march as one
with the saints for succour however can we fail
as to thy celestial spheres we joyfully arise
in the company of angels to the triumph of thy name
thy truth ever marches on
