Original Acrylic on canvas:  24" x 36"

Symbolism: The Swans fly out over the open water, yet there is no reflection - the ego - our sense of self - in it's natural state is but a reflection of spirit - it is spirit that allows us to exist - when we begin our journey into the awareness of spirit, we shed the ego - the reflection, and focus on the spirit - which creates the sense of our self as new! The environment being reflected in the water is our perception of choice - allows the expression of potential - opens up options for creating. Swans- almost became extinct, because they lost their ability to migrate - and had to endure harsh conditions to survive. The mountains coming together in the center, indicate our experience of dual reality. The center - the balance of opposites - we experience the triune reality, the three beams of light - representing the whole. The sky - our unconscious state - filled with strong primary elements - when reflected into our physical/dual reality - conscious reality, they appear as subtle energy. Swans form a line - last one joining in - as we begin our journey we attract people of a like mind  - joining together in flight becoming one intention - tuning into the same field of energy and intensifying it. There are 6 swans - love, feminine energy - nurturing, receptive and gentle in nature. The journey begins, not as a deliberate intellectual pursuit, but as a longing - driving force - to seek the invisible source of our pain within ourselves as reflected in our environment.
