Wednesday: Shades of dark and light

The Portal between darkness and light is often only held open by a simple chair.



Is one trying to let in the light or is one hoping to find the path between two worlds and must keep the portal open until one experiences that other dimension fully?



The illusions that are held in the mind of the artist are always more real then the illusions of reality that are cold and sharp and black and white.



It is in the mind, which is the portal to imagination and the playground of the immortal soul, that one finds the colors that are inherent in both black and white. The light and the dark are a continuum and once we pass through that portal of understanding we know that the chair no longer needs to be a prop to either keep the portal open or tightly shut.



The portal is the illusion and once one realizes that dark and light, good and evil, yin and yang are one, then one is in the Tao. And all wisdom is revealed.



It is in the juxtaposition of light and dark, black and white, subtlety and starkness that allows the colors of life to become as a stained glass portrait of our perceived reality.
