POA

I heard someone scream the other day.
This was no ordinary scream.

It came from the deeper depths of the person's being.
It cut the air like a knife.
 A cry of despair.

It seemed to go on and on grating raw at the emotions.
It was a desperate scream of unfulfilled self knowing.
The scream of life longing for itself.
Disconnection.

It exampled for me the pain that Our World is going through presently.

This is an earlier sculpture
that in some way approximates what I heard in that person's pain.

I have revisioned the work to include gold leaf.
Maybe the 'gold' in our lives like Midas is making us rich 'materially' 
but the attachment is leaving too many without connection to our own hearts?
Hasn't it all got something to do with our choices and attaining a balance in our lives?

Time to come home. NW☺︎
