Orcas and mountains shrouded in clouds.
O
ne need not be an existentialist
to comprehend that light, dark-
ness and shades of grey flourish
in our humanity and in the natural world. The
mingling of these elemental forces shapes our
experience, spirituality, and legacy. Contrast
describes our relationships with the intimate
to the epic in our lives.
What makes something beautiful? Something
spiritual? Where do we find this essence? Is
there commonality between different types of
beauty and how can we allow ourselves the
sensitivity to discover it? The vision to see it?
What are the paths to cultivating this ability
and how can it be preserved? How can this be
shared in a meaningful and artful expression?
As a student of these sublime concepts,
I examine these notions on two recent
explorations, and once again discover universal
truths that coexist and permeate all life in its
different manifestations.
