Description

The earth has its seasons... the fall that prepares nature for its warm winter sleep... winter that is a time of rest and regeneration... spring that is an awakening of life... and summer that is the fulfillment of that new life. And so it is with us... we have our seasons... we grow and expand that which we are and, at some point, we discover that we have found peace in our valley of life. We do not always know it when it happens for it is truly a subtle and quiet event when it occurs. But then... one day... as if by a miracle of revelation... we discover that what we once felt was necessary... what we once felt that we could not let go of... has all changed. It is not our surroundings nor is it our possessions that have changed... nor is it the people in our experience who have changed. It is you and I who have changed... we have discovered the truth of our inner Self... we have discovered that we can and do live in the Now (no other when)... all that which is outside of ourselves is nothing but appearances that change from day to day... what never changes is the truth of our inner peace. It has been there all along... we just did not take the time to notice it. Perhaps... just perhaps... we have been living in the NOW all of this time and we only discovered that truth when we slowed down to the speed of life. What an amazing discovery that would be. Our thought for the day is: 'There is peace in my valley of life... I am free of that which I thought had bound me.' --Gayle O May you know joy, love and light this day... may your heart sing a song of delight and may all that you desire make itself known to you. © Gayle O The original flame was created with Apophysis 3D Hack. The seed script used in this flame was the 3D_Scry_JulianN_Script by Bart Doetsch. The script can be found on the Deviant Art web site in the fractal resources section. Post work was done in Paint Shop Pro. The inset image is the original flame. The main image was then run through the Mehdi Kaleidoscope 2.1 filter along with some other tweaking in PSP. Your visits to my gallery mean so much to me. They bring sunshine to my valley of life and promises of a new tomorrow. I could not receive a better gift than the gifts that come from your hearts. Thank you for your comments on this image and my previous images. Each one is very special to me and will always be treasured and held close to my heart. I send a most heart felt thank you to those of you who have favored me as an artist or have favored one of my images. I also thank you for sharing your creativity with me. Through your art I have become even more inspired. May the seasons of your life bring you joy and delight and may that joy and delight bring a song to your soul. Namaste. my store amota99517.com

I was meant to find this particular image, and this very hour and moment. Of that, there is no doubt. Thank you, Gayle, for this, and for each of your beauties, and your shared reflections. There are few truer words...than these. And, a glorious, insightful image as well. I particularly love the blend of angularities and the soft folds...each a season of their own. Deepest Namaste.
